Asean and Seoul can forge new paths to peace and prosperity

NEXT week, the 2019 Asean-Republic of Korea Commemorative Summit and the first Mekong-Republic of Korea Summit will be held in Korea from Nov 25 to 27. In particular, as my home town Busan will play host to the events, I am very much looking forward to them – as if I have invited valued guests to my home. I send early greetings in a warm welcome to the heads of state and government as well as to the secretary-general of Asean.

South Korea was Asean’s first dialogue partner to establish an Asean Culture House.
