Korea and Kazakhstan have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly preserve historical sites in Kazakhstan that are connected to Korea's independence movement against Japanese colonial rule, the Seoul veterans ministry announced on Wednesday. The agreement was inked by Kwon Oh-eul, the Korean Veterans Minister, and Arman Kyrykbayev, Kazakhstan's Minister of Culture and Information, during a bilateral summit held on the sidelines of the inaugural Korea-Central Asia Summit.
President Lee Jae Myung is currently in Seoul for the summit, alongside the leaders of four other Central Asian nations, including Uzbekistan.
Under the terms of the MOU, both countries pledge to systematically preserve the historical records and cultural significance of 25 historical sites in Kazakhstan that pertain to Korea's struggle for independence from Japanese colonial control between 1910 and 1945. Among these sites is a memorial park in Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan. The MOU also aims to bolster academic exchanges between the two nations in this field.
