KOREA FOUNDATION

19th Korean-German Forum & 9th Korean-German Junior Forum

From November 3 to 6, the 19th Korean-German Forum will be held at the Grand Hyatt Seoul in Korea to seek ways of promoting bilateral cooperation between Germany and Korea. The forum will address such global issues as the COVID-19 pandemic, carbon neutrality, and various other topics related to politics, gender and generational problems, and digitalization.

A non-governmental consultative organization joined by prominent figures from political, economic, social, and cultural fields, the forum was launched in Seoul in 2002 and has held annual meetings in Germany and Korea on an alternating basis. This year, the meeting will be held in person in Seoul, attended by delegations from both countries in strict observance of quarantine measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Alongside the forum, the 9th Korean-German Junior Forum will also be held, attended by over 40 young leaders from both countries. The forum will facilitate energetic discussions of such topics as education, digitalization, climate, enterprises, and the economic growth of the two nations. It is hoped that the two forums will contribute to expanding the substantial, future-oriented development of Korean-German bilateral relations.
