To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN)- Republic of Korea (ROK) dialogue relations, the Korea Heritage Service and the ASEAN Secretariat jointly convened a meeting in Seoul on June 26, themed The Future of ASEAN-ROK Cooperation: Cultural Heritage and Socio-Cultural Solidarity.
The aim was to enhance cultural heritage cooperation and solidarity between the ROK and ASEAN. The Administrator of the Korea Heritage Service and the Deputy Secretary-General of the ASEAN Socio Cultural Community attended the event. This provided an opportunity to reflect on past achievements in cultural heritage cooperation and explore future directions and roles in strengthening socio-cultural solidarity.
ASEAN and ROK have increasingly fostered exchanges in tangible and intangible cultural heritage through official development assistance, the ASEAN-ROK Cooperation Fund, and various ASEAN-related organizations. Notably, the Korea Heritage Service plans to establish the ASEAN-ROK Cultural Heritage Cooperation Working Committee in November 2022, aimed at systematically and practically leading cultural heritage cooperation between ROK and ASEAN under the motto of “Action Beyond Discourse.”
lIn pursuit of this goal, the Korea Heritage Service has announced that it has developed a cooperation project titled ‘Enhancing ASEAN-ROK Socio-Cultural Connectivity through Cooperation on Shared Cultural Heritage,’ and consulting it with the ASEAN-Korea Programme Management Team (AKPMT) to move it forward. Meanwhile, based on the discussions at the conference, the KHS and ASEAN Secretariat released a joint media statement outlining the practical implementation measures such as the extension of the ASEAN-ROK Cooperation Fund and Official Development Assistant (ODA) to advance the flagship project.
