The
2020 Korean-German Special Forum was held online as a virtual meeting on
October 16, 2020, co-organized by Koreanisch-Deutsche Gesellschaft e.V. and
Korea Foundation, a specialized public diplomacy organization. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the 19th Korean-German Forum scheduled in 2020, has been
postponed to 2021 in Korea.
The
Korean-German Forum is a 1.5-track dialogue channel to promote bilateral
relations between Korea and Germany with the participation of leading figures
from the political, societal, economic and cultural spheres. The Forum has been
held annually and alternately in each country since the first gathering in
Seoul in 2002. Discussion results on major issues are submitted as policy
recommendations to the respective governments and relevant organizations,
thereby consolidating future-oriented relations and promoting exchange between
the two countries’ leaders in various sectors.
The delegates from Korea and Germany attended online with 3 sessions (Die aktuelle politische, wirtschaftliche und soziale Lage in beiden
Ländern”, “Die Bewältigung der Corona-Pandemie in Korea und
Deutschland – Notwendigkeit der
internationalen Zusammenarbeit”, “75 Jahre Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges – 70 Jahre Beginn des Koreakrieges: Erinnerungskultur im vereinten
Deutschland und im geteilten Korea“).
Meanwhile,
the 2020 Korean-German Junior Special Forum was also held online as a virtual
meeting on October 16, 2020, simultaneously with the Forum. Youths from Korea
and Germany participated in discussions on the topics of `Youth Unemployment
and Fairness`, `Democratic Education`, `Covid-19; International Cooperation`, `The
Rise of Populism`, and `Real Estate Policy and Youth Housing Stability`. The
Korean-German Junior Forum is being held simultaneously with the Korean-German
Forum as a part of the expansion of dialogue channels between the two countries
and a mentoring project for young adults.
