Korea-Africa Summit to Explore Synergies
16 February 2024
Ambassador Dong-han Yang of the Republic of Korea (ROK) arrives in South Africa to take up his post at a most exciting and pivotal time on the continent as Korea gears up to host the first ever Korea-Africa Summit this year. South Africans will be going to the polls this year for the 7th general elections since its transformation to a constitutional democracy and its inaugural election in 1994, 30 years ago. These milestones coincide with Ambassador Yang’s own 30th anniversary of joining the Korean Foreign Ministry.
In this web exclusive interview with The Diplomatic Society (TDS), Ambassador Yang shares the vision of Korea, whose own history is about the triumph of a people who showed resolve and resilience after the devastation of war.
