The Republic of Korea’s Ambassador to Denmark H.E. Mr. Hyo Seung Ahn
Korea and its Dynamic Economy
During the last four decades the Republic of Korea has experienced a very rapid growth rate that has propelled it from poverty to membership in the OECD. It is now among the leading trading nations of the world and is well known for its high tech research and manufacturing industries. Ambassador Ahn will talk about the country’s rapid economic development since the 1960s and give an overview of the issues facing the economy. He will also come with his thoughts as to how it would be possible to enhance trade and cooperation between the Republic of Korea and Denmark.
Ambassador Hyo Seung Ahn was born in 1950 and graduated from Seoul National University and the University of London with degrees in Economics. He has served in the Republic of Korea’s foreign service for more than thirty years. He has been assigned to countries in Africa, the Middle East, North America, and Asia. He has also served as Director-General for International Economy and Trade Studies at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. He has served as Ambassador to Denmark since April 2004.
