Dominica will soon appoint an honorary council to represent its interest in South Korea.
Environment Minister Dr. Kenneth Darroux who represented government at the First High Level Forum on Korea Caribbean Partnership in the Capital City of Seoul says plans are being finalized in that regard.
He says a number of candidates have already been identified and the appointment will pave the way for further development in Dominica.
“One of the key things that we have to do as a country is appointing an honorary council to represent our interest in South Korea. We have already identified a number of possible candidates and we soon should be bringing closure to that. We are hoping that the first level high forum will continue annually. We are also hoping that it will set the paste for good things to come and not just talk,” he explained.
Meantime Dr. Darroux says the South Korean government has indicated its interest in assisting several sectors of the Dominican economy.
“We discussed areas that we think the South Korean government can help. We spoke about capacity building and technology transfer to include training in Korea in terms of university scholarships, assistance in disaster preparedness and renewable energy efficiency. We know that we have our ongoing geothermal project and we are looking for ways to take this project to completion,” he added.
Dominica established diplomatic relations with South Korea in 1979.
