The first Korea-Africa Summit, held in June 2024, was a great success and laid the strong foundation for enhanced partnership between the African continent and Korea in many fields, including health, education and gender issues. South Africa’s upcoming role as the host of the 2025 G20 Summit, coupled with the African Union’s full membership in the G20, provides a timely opportunity to deepen collaboration with key global partners, including the Republic of Korea, on pressing issues.
This dialogue will unpack the key outcomes of the 2024 Korea-Africa Summit and explore the commitments made between South Korea and African countries, including South Africa. This conference will explore how cooperation can further pave the way for a robust health and education agenda and foster lasting partnerships to address shared health and education goals.
Speakers:
- Ms Elizabeth Sidiropoulos Chief Executive South African Institute of International Affairs
- H.E. Dong-han Yang Ambassador of the Republic of Korea
- H.E. Ambassador Zodwa Lallie Acting Deputy Director General for Asia and the Middle East Department of International Relations and Cooperation
We look forward to your attendance and participation.
