Leadership from Yong-in Special City, Fairfax County, and Fairfax County Economic Development Authority sign a friendship agreement on January 13, 2025.

Fairfax County took another step toward strengthening global ties by officially establishing a friendship agreement with Yong-in Special City, South Korea. This partnership aims to foster cultural exchanges and economic relations between South Korea and Fairfax County. Fairfax County is home to over 80 Korean companies, making Korea the country with the largest business presence in the jurisdiction.

Victor Hoskins, president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, seized the opportunity to deepen ties with Korea at this year’s CES® trade show in Las Vegas.

 

“Our county’s relationship with Korea spans nearly two decades, largely driven by a strong industry match, especially in AI technology,” Hoskins said. “Korea’s cutting-edge advancements in AI and healthcare align perfectly with Fairfax County’s growing industries.” (Read more about CES® in the Korea Herald)

Annandale and Centreville are key centers for community with a robust Korean culture, from restaurants to businesses. Korean Americans also play a big part in the County’s diverse population making up 20.5% of Fairfax County.
