Over 1,300 overseas Koreans are preparing to gather in South Korea's Songdo district for a five-day event, starting next week. Known as World Korean Week, this program will run from October 1st to October 5th at the Songdo Convincesa venue. Organized by the Overseas Koreans Agency, the event will feature a diverse array of political, business, cultural, and community-focused activities.
The World Korean Association Leaders Conference will kick off the week, with community leaders convening for discussions on regional issues and sharing best practices. This marks the first time a private-sector steering committee will oversee the event's planning and execution, representing the overseas Korean community.
In addition to the conference, the event will also host the World Korean Business Convention, Future Leaders' Conference, and Korean Festival. These gatherings aim to bring together various generations and industries within the diaspora, fostering connections and creating opportunities for dialogue with residents in South Korea.
The program's organizers hope to strengthen the ties between overseas Koreans and their Korean counterparts, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration across the globe.
