ReplyDelete“Your Excellency, it is great to see how you are building stronger Malaysia–Korea relations. How do you think Malaysia and Korea can work together in digital innovation and AI in ways that countries like South Africa can also learn from? In the halal industry, what chances do you see for Asia and Africa to grow trade together? For young people and culture, how can exchanges bring Malaysia, Korea, and even countries like South Africa closer? And from your experience in France and now Korea, what lessons help you most in connecting people across different parts of the world? As someone from South Africa, I would love to hear your views because these areas are also important for Africa’s growth and partnerships.
ReplyDeleteHello! I have several questions and would be glad to get your insights. As someone from South Africa 🇿🇦, I’m very interested in learning how Zambia’s 🇿🇲 engagement with Korea 🇰🇷 in trade, culture, and people-to-people exchanges could inspire similar collaborations across Africa. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteAlso, as someone from South Africa 🇿🇦, I’m curious: what opportunities exist for African countries to collaborate with Zambia 🇿🇲 and Korea 🇰🇷 in areas like trade, tourism, and education?”
ReplyDeleteI’d also love to know: how does the Embassy of Zambia 🇿🇲 balance showcasing the country’s culture and heritage while learning from Korea’s 🇰🇷 development experiences, and what lessons could South Africa 🇿🇦 take from this?
ReplyDeleteAs someone from South Africa 🇿🇦, I’m curious: how can youth and cultural exchange programs between Zambia 🇿🇲 and Korea 🇰🇷 be expanded in ways that also benefit other African countries?
ReplyDeleteAs a concerned individual from Eswatini, we don't have quite a number of embassies in Eswatini. When we want to travel abroad we go to embassies in Mozambique and South Africa. It is difficult for us to physically learn about things from other countries and obtaimimg visa's requires us to travel longer distances. Otherwise I really wish to make a relationship with Malaysia and Korea, and to learn a lot about these countries
