Hyundai Chung Mong Koo Foundation has built a global cooperation network with 10 universities, research institutes and international organizations in five Asian countries, including the National University of Singapore (NUS) Asia Research Institute, Asia Research Institute, Korea University, the ASEAN Foundation and Chulalongkorn University, to foster the next generation of leaders in Korea and ASEAN.
The foundation said on the 14th that it signed a multilateral memorandum of understanding with the institutions on the 13th at the NUS Asia Research Institute. It is the first time a private public-interest foundation in South Korea has established such a large-scale multilateral cooperation framework with major ASEAN institutions.
The agreement will also expand the education and exchange programs of the foundation’s CMK School of ASEAN Studies (CMK ASEAN School). The program aims to cultivate the next generation of specialists in ASEAN-related fields based on a deeper understanding of Korea-ASEAN relations.
Through the agreement, the foundation plans to expand exchanges with local universities, research institutes and international organizations in ASEAN countries, and train ASEAN experts with not only theoretical knowledge but also field experience and global capabilities. Nineteen students from the fourth class of the CMK ASEAN School began field visits in Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia on the 9th. They are scheduled to visit local universities, international organizations and global companies through the 21st.
