Jun 23, 2013
Though Ethiopia and Korea’s five-decade relationship is Korea’s longest with any African nation and some 4,000 Ethiopian soldiers fought for the South during the Korean War, the East African nation’s top diplomat in Korea said he believes the two countries have yet to get know each other.“Even though Ethiopia and Korea share this war-time experience, it doesn’t mean we know each other well. For that matter, Korea does not know that much about Africa in general,” said Ethiopian Ambassador to Kore

Diplomatic store underwhelms envoys
Jun 16, 2013
The dreary second-floor shop for foreign diplomats appeared as lonely as it was out of place amid the posh boutiques and upscale offices that populate southern Seoul. Seoul’s drab and gray Diplomatic Duty-Free Store could be better suited in the black-and-white show reel of an old Soviet-era marketplace, or maybe in a grocery store in the North Korean capital city of Pyongyang than in one of this city’s most bustling, glitzy and fashionable shopping districts. Kim Mi-yeon, a young female store c

Russian Far East could be Korean investment ‘bonanza’

Russia’s Far East is in many ways its “Wild West,” where hardened Cossacks some 350 years ago and young Soviets with courage and ambition, fewer than a hundred ― came to exploit Sakha diamonds and Sakhalin oil.Today, Russia looks to tap this rugged frontier’s still-unrealized vast natural resources by increasing economic links with Korea in fields from energy and infrastructure to shipbuilding, and even in joint agricultural projects.Its Far East will be the source of future economic growth for
