Ambassadors, business executives and government officials gathered in Seoul for the Korea Times Forum, Wednesday, which focused on the critical themes of diversity, inclusiveness and equality. The event, attended by representatives from various nations, emphasized the importance of these values in creating a stronger, more equitable society.
Guatemalan Ambassador to Korea Sara Solis underscored the significance of the forum’s focus.
“It’s very important to attend to these kinds of activities, especially because of the issues and themes you choose,” she said.
“This year, you chose ‘Toward diversity, inclusiveness and equality’ and for people like me, for women, it’s so important to be recognized and to participate in all the areas possible because nowadays, you know, inclusiveness is very important.”
Danish Ambassador to Korea Svend Olling highlighted the broad benefits of embracing these principles.
“Diversity, inclusiveness and equality are important for society on so many levels. It’s a basic human right; it is something that will make society more inclusive and happy, and it is something that will be good for our economy,” he said.
“In fact, one of the most potent options for our economy lies in diversity and inclusiveness. We should, however, remember that 카지노사이트킹 at the forefront of the agenda is, of course, equality between the sexes. We’ll also be talking about the LGBTI community, different racial backgrounds and different social statuses.”
New Zealand Ambassador to Korea Dawn Elizabeth Bennet emphasized the interconnectedness of the forum’s themes.

Reflecting on progress and ongoing challenges, Argentinian Ambassador to Korea Emiliano Gabriel Waiselfisz praised the forum’s focus.
“The world has advanced a lot, especially in the past 30, 40 years, towards higher and bigger equality, but there’s still a lot to do. It’s so important to have The Korea Times including this theme in this year’s forum,” he said.
