ㅇ제목: 2023 동남아 전문가 초청강연- “Thailand – ROK Relations Partnership and Potential into the Future”: On the occasion of 65th Anniversary of Diplomatic Ties & 73 Years of Cooperation Between the Kingdom of Thailand and the Republic of Korea
ㅇ 강연자: Dr. Witchu Vejjajiva (주한태국대사)
ㅇ일시: 10.12.(목) 2:30-4:00
ㅇ장소: 아시아연구소 영원홀
ㅇ 주최: HK+사업단, 동남아시아센터
ㅇ내용: The Kingdom of Thailand and the Republic of Korea have long enjoyed close and cordial ties, starting from Thailand’s participation in the Korean War in 1950, to the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations in 1958 and the signing of the Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2012. Most recently in November 2022, the leaders of the two countries witnessed the signing of the Joint Action Plan towards Strengthening Strategic Partnership. Still, the intensity of their cooperation in key areas, including economic, education, science and technology, remains moderate. For instance, ROK simply ranks 12th as Thailand’s trading partner in 2022 and 7th as Thailand’s foreign investor overall, while Thailand ranks merely 19th as ROK’s trading partner.
This Special Lecture aims to present collaboration potential existing in Thailand-ROK relations and greater benefits to result if both countries can work closely together to unlock this potential. It will also introduce some basic facts about Thailand and the development of its relationship with ROK throughout the 65 years of their bilateral ties and since Thailand participated in the Korean War 73 years back.
