Korea and Kazakhstan have inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on preserving historical sites in Kazakhstan that bear significance to Korea's struggle for independence from Japan's colonial reign between 1910-1945, according to Seoul's veterans ministry. The agreement was inked Tuesday by Kwon Oh-eul, minister of veterans affairs in Korea, and Arman Kyrykbayev, Kazakhstan's minister of culture and information, during a bilateral summit attended by President Lee Jae Myung of Korea and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
The visit of Kazakh president, who was accompanied by leaders of four other Central Asian nations including Uzbekistan, was held for the opening of the Korea-Central Asia Summit in Seoul.
The MOU lays down the groundwork for systematic preservation of historical records and cultural significance of 25 historical sites in Kazakhstan that are connected to Korea's fight for independence. One such site is a memorial park in Kyzylorda, as per the ministry. This agreement aims to bolster academic exchanges between the two nations as well.
