ISLAMABAD: South Korean Ambassador to Pakistan Park Kijun has inaugurated ‘Korea Week,’ a dynamic cultural initiative aimed at strengthening the bonds between the two countries. This event seeks to promote mutual understanding and respect through a series of engaging activities that showcase the unique traditions of both countries.

In an exclusive interview with state-run news agency APP, Ambassador Park emphasized that this year is pivotal for enhancing relations between Korea and Pakistan. Since his arrival in Islamabad, he has highlighted the importance of cultural understanding and respect between the two countries.

To achieve this goal, the embassy has organized a unique cultural exchange program, the first of its kind, celebrating both Korean and Pakistani traditions. The ambassador views this event as a valuable opportunity for both nations to come together and appreciate the rich and diverse cultures that shape their societies. The program allows audiences in both countries to engage with each other’s cultural heritage, paving the way for stronger connections.

Ambassador Park noted that while Pakistan is known for its abundant natural resources and skilled workforce, Korea faces challenges such as resource scarcity and workforce limitations. He believes these contrasting strengths create a solid foundation for mutual cooperation, enabling both nations to complement each other’s needs.

By promoting cultural exchange, he highlighted that Korea and Pakistan can explore new avenues for partnership. This collaboration could yield significant benefits, not only in cultural appreciation but also in economic and social sectors. He stressed that increasing opportunities for collaboration would enhance their relationship and foster a future of shared growth.

As the cultural event unfolds, Ambassador Park expects it to serve as a platform for Koreans and Pakistanis to deepen their understanding of one another. He envisions this leading to more opportunities for cooperation, ranging from business ventures to people-to-people exchanges. Ultimately, the goal is to strengthen the ties between the two nations and create a lasting partnership based on mutual respect and shared benefits.
