Korea and ASEAN countries will enhance cooperation on the information and media sectors.
The Korean government made these proposals as a way to bolster cooperation at the Conference of the Ministers Responsible for Information and Related Meetings that took place on March 17 in Cebu, the Philippines. Korea’s proposals in this regard include developing cooperation projects in news media in order to meet the era of mobile communications that exists today, strengthening exchanges in cultural content, and expanding exchanges among journalists from across the region.
In regard to cooperation on information and media, First Vice Minister of Culture, Sports & Tourism Chung Kwan-joong explained Korea’s efforts to implement the “ASEAN Plus Three Cooperation Work Plan Through Information and Media (2012 – 2017).” He also proposed conducting joint research into media consumption trends in the ASEAN+3 nations as a cooperation project in the news sector.
Vice Minister Chung told meeting participants about Korea’s plan to host the “ASEAN+3 Digital Journalism Workshop” in 2017 where participants will be able to discuss the development of digital journalism in each country in order to respond to challenges faced by new journalism media.
During the conference, the Korean delegation held one-on-one meetings with China to discuss better ways to manage the high-profile journalists’ forum between the two countries. Both delegations hoped to expand cooperation not only on the journalism sector, but also on broader sectors, including media, information and broadcasting.
During a one-on-one meeting with the Korean delegation, ASEAN Secretary-General Le Luong Minh vowed to actively support Korea’s proposals for “joint research into media consumption trends in the ASEAN+3 region” at ASEAN's secretariat level.
