South Korea has renewed Fratelli Group to a one-year pact worth $300K as the Obama administration pushes for Congressional approval of a Korean free trade agreement.
During his State of the Union address, President Obama urged Congress to okay the Korean trade deal “as soon as possible.” He claims approval will support 70,000 American jobs. There also are pending agreements with Panama and Colombia.
Working with Korea’s Washington Embassy, Fratelli is to develop specific messages to key Members of Congress and run grassroots campaigns beyond the Beltway. The firm also maintains and updates www.koreauspartnership.org.
Fratelli’s contract runs through Dec. 31.
