Ural Federal University will be assisting in organization of a South-Korean representative office in the Ural region

On Friday, Park Ro-byung, Ambassador of South Korea, suggested opening a Korean Cultural and Educational Center in Ekaterinburg. His idea was supported by the Rector of Ural Federal University Victor Koksharov.

In his turn, the Rector suggested sending Korean university professors to the Urals for full-time employment.

 “We’ve had similar experience with other countries”, says V. Koksharov. “Besides students, professors working full time might teach everyone who is interested in the Korean language and culture. We are also ready to send our employees to Korea to teach the Russian language”.

On October 7, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Korea in the Russian Federation read a lecture for UrFU Department of International Relations students. It was preceded by the meeting between Park Ro-byung and UrFU Rector Victor Koksharov.
