The international community today faces a rapidly shifting security environment,
shaped by U.S.–China strategic competition, global supply chain restructuring,
and emerging security challenges.

Pyeongtaek, an international city home to U.S. Forces Korea,
stands as a strategic hub of the ROK–US Alliance and a representative peace city of Korea.
It has drawn attention as a center of cooperation and solidarity across diplomacy, economy, and beyond.

At this critical juncture, Pyeongtaek is contributing to the national agenda by
extending the foundations of foreign and defense policy at the local level.
Through its unique culture, economy, and civic society,
the city seeks to play a vital role in shaping the future of the ROK–US Alliance.

Against this backdrop, Pyeongtaek will host the 2025 Pyeongtaek International Peace Forum
under the theme “The Future of the ROK–US Alliance in a Shifting International Order.”

We warmly invite your interest and participation in the forum,
to be held on September 18, 2025, at Courtyard by Marriott Pyeongtaek.
