Seoul Dialogue on Africa seeks mutual cooperation in technology, healthcare, among others By Kang Seung-woo The fifth Seoul Dialogue on Africa was held, Wednesday, during which experts explored ways to seek co-prosperity between Korea and Africa. The dialogue, co-hosted by the Korea-Africa Foundation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was launched in 2018, becoming an annual international conference seeking to gather policy proposals toward building a strategic partnership between Korea and Africa. In addition, the forum helps facilitate research on Africa in Korea by strengthening networks between scholars, researchers and various other stakeholders from both sides. "The objective of the Seoul Dialogue on Africa ― which looks for ways to seek the co-prosperity of Korea and Africa through the dialogue of global experts on Africa ― is aligned to the vision of the foundation," Lyeo Woon-ki, the president of the foundation, said in his opening remarks. Lyeo said that the dialogue discussed the importance of mutual solidarity and mutual multilateral cooperation of the international community to respond effectively to global issues such as the pandemic and climate change over the past two years.
