During the discussion session, AKC’s Kang Ji-hyun, Head of Information and Data Unit and four ASEAN officials from Brunei, Lao PDR, Malaysia and the Philippines participated in the program and had discussion on ASEAN’s history, importance, diversity, culture & tourism digitalization and other interesting topics with the students.

The following is the testimonial from the students:

“During the discussion session, I can feel the desire of ASEAN officials to develop ASEAN more in the future. I didn’t know much about ASEAN at first, but through this visit I got to know lot about ASEAN. I had a good time that I wanted to listen even the same lecture again.”
