The Brookings Institution and the Sejong Institute co-hosted the inaugural session of the Seoul-Washington Forum on May 1 and 2, 2006, at the Westin Grand Hotel in Washington, DC. The Forum brought together scholars and former officials from the United States and the Republic of Korea to address the pressing issues facing the Korean peninsula and the U.S.-ROK alliance. Panel topics addressed by senior scholars and former officials from both sides included: the U.S.-ROK alliance; the six-party talks; replacing the armistice; and Korea-U.S. economic cooperation. The Forum was made possible by the generous support of the Korea Foundation.
