On November 6th, in Salvador, Bahia, the Vice Minister of Culture of South Korea, Yong Ho-Sung, and the Minister of Culture of Brazil, Margareth Menezes, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for cultural cooperation between South Korea and Brazil. The Director of the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil, Mr. Cheul Hong Kim, was also present at the ceremony.

As part of the G20 activities, the MOU was signed 58 years after the cultural agreement between the two countries was established in 1966. The new agreement defines specific areas and fields of cooperation, including cultural policies, creative economy, performing and visual arts, cultural heritage, and the audiovisual industry. The memorandum thus lays the foundation for cultural cooperation between the two countries, adding significance to the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Brazil.

Our cultural center reaffirms its commitment to being a bridge for cultural exchange between South Korea and Brazil, especially after the signing of the MOU. The role of the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil will be essential for the realization of joint cultural projects.
