RoK’s Foreign Minister to attend Davos forum

Besides, Ms. Kang Kyung-wha was scheduled to use the occasion as an opportunity to share opinion on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and various other issues with global figures.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Noh Kyu-duk said the Minister will attend a number of open and closed-door sessions at the Davos Forum.

The sessions will include topics such as geopolitical outlook and the future of the Korean eninsula, as well as a luncheon meeting with key guests.

The WEF is a not-for-profit foundation, known for its Annual Meeting which takes place in the modern Davos Congress Centre. The aim of the meeting will be to set an agenda that drives greater multi-stakeholder collaboration to address political, economic and societal challenges of our times.

Over the course of each year, the Forum also convenes regional meetings in locations across Africa, East Asia, and Latin America, and holds two further annual meetings in China and the United Arab Emirates. Beside meetings, the Forum produces a series of research reports and engages its members in sector-specific initiatives. It also has offices in New York, Beijing, Tokyo and San Francisco.

The WEF 2019 will run from January 22nd to 25th./.
