The Embassy of the Republic of Korea will organize an educational but fabulous function entitled ‘Korea, Closer Than You Imagine’ at Renaissance Hotel, K.L on 21st May 2009 at 3pm.
The purpose of the event is to promote awareness among Malaysian young generation about the ASEAN-Korea Commemorative Summit in Jeju on 1st-2nd June 2009 and the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations in 2010.
What makes the event more meaningful and unique is that its main guests are not from a group that commonly appeared in this kind of event like diplomatic corps, corporate figures or governmental officers. Actually, 400 Malaysian university students will be invited to join the event, and 100 Korean students in Malaysia will mingle with their Malaysian peers.
To meet the prospective goal of this event, some information and statistics showing the ASEAN-Korea relations as well as Malaysia-Korea bilateral relations will be exhibited. Also, photos featuring the 50 years of friendship between Malaysia and Korea such as visits of heads of Governments of both countries, signing ceremony of bilateral agreements and Malaysian landmarks constructed by Korean companies like Petronas Twin Tower 2 and Penang Bridge.
And yet, a variety of cultural events such as Taekwondo demonstration, dance performance and B-boy Comedy will make the event fairly juvenile and exiting. At the event, the young participants will not only enjoy and experience Korean culture but also learn that Korea has come closer than they imagine as a caring neighbor of Malaysia.
Considering the young generation like the invitees will be the next heroes and heroines to lead our bilateral relations in the 21st century, we realize this festival is not just one of the many frequent diplomatic events but something that deserves our special attention and support.
