SUMMARY:The Atlanta Council on International Relations Presents Peace on the Korean Peninsula
DESCRIPTION:Peace on the Korean Peninsula: Can the ROK-US Alliance Defend Against A Threatening Nuclear Shadow? \n( A panel discussion with Introductory Comments by Yoonjoo Park\, Consul General of the Republic of Korea)  \nJune and July of 2023\, will mark the 70th anniversary of the Korean War armistice and subsequent termination of open hostilities. ROK-US mutual defense treaties have guaranteed the peace and the accumulated prosperity of the ROK. Its rising industrial and technological advances place it near the top of the global pyramid\, while a third-generation Kim’s mounting insecurity\, fueled by a free people on his doorstep\, has led to an obsession for advanced nuclear and missile technology that threatens the stability of the Korean Peninsula and its Pacific neighbors. Can peace prevail on a peninsula that reflects darkness and enlightenment? \nModerator: Kevin Miller  \nRegistration Deadline : Monday\, June 19 2023

SUMMARY:Diplomatic Dialogue: A meeting with Rachel Galloway\, Consul General of the United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:Join ACIR for a Diplomatic Dialogue reception with Rachel Galloway\, Consul General of the United Kingdom in Atlanta. After an hour of networking\, Consul General Galloway will discuss the work of the British Consulate\, her experiences during her career postings and her observations on global affairs with Mark Pierson\, ACIR’s Director of Diplomatic Outreach and Strategic Development. The Diplomatic Dialogue attendees will then have the opportunity to ask the Consul General questions. Remarks are off-the-record and not recorded but social media posts are encouraged. \n\n\n\nAbout Consul General Rachel Galloway \n\n\n\nRachel Galloway assumed her post as His Majesty’s Consul General in Atlanta in July 2022. Before taking on her current assignment\, she served as Her Majesty’s Ambassador to the Republic of North Macedonia from 2018 to 2022\, where she played a pivotal role in strengthening diplomatic relations in the region. Her diplomatic journey spans various prestigious positions\, including Chair of the Mashrek Maghreb Working Group at the European External Action Service and Head of the Neighborhoods Team at the UK Permanent Representation to the EU in Brussels from 2012 to 2015. \n\n\n\nRachel’s career showcases her dedication to international affairs\, with notable roles such as Deputy Head of the International Organisations Department at the FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) and Head of the Darfur Section in the Sudan Unit at the FCO/Department for International Development. Her commitment extends to serving on the Counter-Terrorism Review Team at Her Majesty’s Treasury and as an FCO Representative in Helmand with the Lashkar Gar Provincial Reconstruction Team in 2006. Rachel’s early career includes diplomatic assignments in Washington and as the Jamaica and Cuba Desk Officer at the FCO. \n\n\n\nBeyond her diplomatic achievements\, Rachel is a devoted wife to Thomas Galloway\, OBE\, and a loving mother of two children. \n\n\n\nU.S.—U.K. Bilateral Economic Relations \n\n\n\nMutual trade and investment are at the heart of our prosperity\, and our commitment to free market values enables our economies to thrive. The United States and the United Kingdom are the world’s first and fifth largest economies in the world. We currently trade over $260 billion worth of goods and services each year. We are each other’s number one source of foreign direct investment and two-way direct investment totals over $1 trillion. \n\n\n\nEvery U.S. state has jobs that are connected to an investment by a U.K. company. More than 1.2 million Americans work for U.K. companies in the United States\, and over 1.5 million Britons are directly employed by U.S. firms. The top U.S. exports to the United Kingdom include aircraft\, machinery\, financial and travel services\, and agricultural products\, such as wine and beer. \n\n\n\nU.S.-United Kingdom International Relations \n\n\n\nThe United States has no closer ally than the United Kingdom\, and British foreign policy emphasizes close coordination with the United States. Bilateral cooperation reflects the common language\, ideals\, and democratic practices of the two nations. Relations were strengthened by the United Kingdom’s alliance with the United States during both World Wars\, in the Korean conflict\, in the Persian Gulf War\, in Operation Iraqi Freedom\, and in Afghanistan\, as well as through its role as a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The United Kingdom and the United States continually consult on foreign policy issues and global problems and share major foreign and security policy objectives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Moldova: Russia’s Next Target? Luncheon Discussion with Ambassador Viorel Ursu
DESCRIPTION:Uniquely situated\, Moldova is at the crossroads of an international crisis. Confronted with war on its doorstep and Russia threatening  interference in its internal affairs\, the Republic of Moldova faces a complex and difficult future as it strives to move toward European integration.  \n\n\n\nMoldovan roots can be traced back to the 1350’s but modern-day\, independent Moldova was only recognized by the US 33 years ago. This “new” nation has all the makings of growth and prosperity but with Putin’s dark cloud hanging overhead the country may be over before it gets started.  \n\n\n\nJoin Ambassador Viorel Ursu as he discusses how Moldova struggles to maintain stability and peace while supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom and democracy. The survival of Moldova as a sovereign state is not just in the interest of Europe but in the broader global concerns of the United States as well. In addition\, we’ll be enjoying Moldovan wines during lunch as a special treat from the Ambassador! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nViorel Ursu\, Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to the United States of America\nAmbassador Ursu has worked for two decades in the field of international development assistance and academia. He has deep expertise in European\, Trans-Atlantic and Eurasian affairs\, with a focus on democratic practice\, diplomatic relations\, human rights\, anti-corruption\, media\, and civil society development. \n\n\n\nBefore assuming his current duties\, since 2014\, Ursu served as Division Director for Europe and Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations in London\, UK. Ursu spent over a decade in Brussels\, Belgium\, as a Senior Policy Analyst at the Open Society European Policy Institute\, where he developed deep knowledge and practice of the European Union’s policymaking and funding mechanisms. Prior to his move abroad\, Ursu was a lecturer of International Law and Human Rights at the Moldova State University\, which he graduated in 1997. During 1999-2002\, Mr. Ursu managed the establishment of a Master’s Degree in EU Law and Human Rights at the Law School of the Moldova State University with the support of the EU-TEMPUS Program. Ursu is also a graduate of the College of Europe from Warsaw\, with a Master in European Studies and EU Law. He received his initial training at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova in 1996-97. Over the years he pursued studying programs at University of Fribourg\, Switzerland\, Montesquieu University\, France\, University of Navarra\, Spain\, and Harvard University\, USA.
