Since the World War II and the Korean War, Korea has succeeded in achieving democracy and economic growth through extensive cooperation with the international community, increased investments in education and R&D, the strong spirit of its people, and the outstanding leadership of the Korean government.

Korea has become one of the world's top 10 economies and is leading the world in electronics, semiconductors, automobiles, shipbuilding, nuclear power plant technology, and the defense industry. Korean culture and products are gaining much attention and popularity globally, including Kenya. As a responsible member of the international community, Korea is actively participating in international efforts in resolving global issues such as climate change, war and conflicts, supply chains, terrorism, and pandemics.

Relations between Korea and Kenya have continued to strengthen since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1964.In particular, 2024 is a significant year as Korea and Kenya celebrated the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties, and H.E. Mr. William Samoei Ruto, President of Kenya visited Korea on the occasion of the Korea-Africa Summit, in June 2024.

Since the Korea-Africa Summit in June 2024, exchanges and cooperation between Korea and Africa have been expanding, and Korea is actively seeking to grow cooperation with African countries with great development potential.

Moreover, I believe that solidarity and cooperation among nations are more important than ever in this era of changing geopolitical landscape and growing global uncertainty,

I believe that it is of special significance that the World Korea Forum is being held in Africa for the first time since the establishment of the International Korea Foundation in 1999, with the participation of distinguished representatives from around the world.

In conclusion, I wish that this World Korea Forum event will be a meaningful opportunity for in-depth discussions on ways to promote friendship and cooperation between Korea and Africa, as well as for contribution to world peace and prosperity. Thank you.
