Presenters: Tae-yeok Ha (Former Ambassador to the Kyrgyz Republic)

This event was organized to provide a comprehensive overview of South Korea’s policy toward Central Asia and to explore the direction and possibilities for cooperation amid a changing international landscape. As Central Asia’s strategic importance continues to grow across various sectors—including energy and natural resources, supply chains, transportation and logistics, and development cooperation—the seminar seeks to discuss new horizons for Korea’s foreign policy engagement. It also aims to assess past policy achievements and limitations in a balanced manner, placing emphasis on identifying practical and sustainable models of cooperation.
