The Korea-U.S.-Japan joint public-private event was postponed..."Because of the unexpected situation".

Following a series of postponements in security consultations between the South Korean and U.S. governments after the martial law crisis in South Korea, a joint public-private event between South Korea, the U.S., and Japan was suddenly postponed.

The U.S. State Department said the conference to strengthen women's economic capabilities in South Korea, the U.S., and Japan, which was scheduled to be held at the State Department building in Washington for two days from the 12th, has been postponed indefinitely

Asked about the postponement of the event, the State Department said it was regrettable to announce that the meeting had been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, without mentioning specific reasons.

A South Korean government official said he understood that the postponement was decided due to the difficulty of recruiting attendees.

Earlier on the 3rd, the nuclear consultation group meeting and iconography practice scheduled to be held in Washington after martial law was postponed, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's visit to South Korea was also postponed.
