South Korea Ambassador Si-hyunt Leewith Dennis Yablonsky, CEO, AlleghenyConference on Community Development

Thursday, on behalf of The Pittsburgh G-20 Partnership, Dennis Yablonsky, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, hosted a seven-member delegation from Korea led by Ambassador Si-hyung Lee, head of protocol for the Presidential Committee for the G-20 Seoul Summit.

The visit was whirlwind – we learned about it only 72 hours ago, and they were just here for the day. The president of Korea dispatched the delegation because of "the great success" of the Pittsburgh Summit. During their visit the delegation toured the convention center and met with Mike Huss, the public safety director of the City of Pittsburgh. Shawn Fox represented the Allegheny County Executive at the luncheon, along with key staff from the Conference and VisitPittsburgh.
