Korea National Diplomatic Academy Strengthens East Asian Diplomatic Cooperation with Diplomatic Corps in Korea

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Korea National Diplomatic Academy announced that it will hold the 1st Special East Asian Diplomacy Program (EADP: East Asian Diplomacy Program) for the diplomatic corps in Korea from the 18th of this month to the 18th of next month at the dedicated hall on the 8th floor of the Diplomatic Town, commemorating the launch of the National Diplomacy Town.

The East Asian Diplomacy Program is a long-term specialized training course newly established for foreign diplomats on the occasion of the establishment of the National Diplomacy Town in October. Under the theme of "Peace and Cooperation in East Asia," it is a systematic and high-level diplomatic professional education program related to the core diplomatic policies of our government.

A total of 54 diplomats from 41 countries have applied to participate in this training course. The East Asian Diplomacy Program is expected to strengthen our position on East Asian diplomatic issues on the international stage and lead related diplomatic cooperation by discussing rapidly changing East Asian diplomatic issues with foreign diplomats and sharing our government's core diplomatic policies such as the Korean Peninsula peace settlement process.

In particular, this special course for the diplomatic corps in Korea is expected to serve as an opportunity to share Korea's excellent COVID-19 response cases amid the rapidly changing global situation due to COVID-19 and to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the diplomatic corps in Korea to overcome COVID-19 together with the international community.

This special course will be conducted in strict compliance with quarantine rules such as mandatory mask-wearing, social distancing between participants, and regular disinfection to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Going forward, the Korea National Diplomatic Academy plans to continuously strive to enhance Korea's national image in the international community by regularly holding the East Asian Diplomacy Program not only for the diplomatic corps in Korea but also for foreign diplomats, while expanding the pro-Korea diplomatic community.
