Hello, everyone!
 
I’m YOU SEUNG HEE from the Korea-China Technology & Cultural of Promotion Association. It’s a cold winter in Korea, but here in Hainan, the weather is lovely, which I greatly enjoy. This year marks the 10th anniversary of President Xi Jinping’s proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative. Under this initiative, China’s National Development and Reform Commission has developed a model of cooperative industrial parks between China and Korea, fostering joint development. Our association mainly collaborates with Korean industries and state-owned enterprises under the support of both governments.
 
Currently, there are five national-level industrial parks between China and Korea – four in China and one in Korea. In China, these include the China-Korea Industrial Park in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, focusing on collaborative robots, medical industries, modern manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing; Sichuan Province specializing in medical aesthetics; Changchun focusing on renewable energy and medical aesthetics; and Shandong Province emphasizing beauty industry trade.
 
So far, we have also collaborated in the cultural industry with a group in Shanghai and Shanghai Oriental Television, preparing to build and operate a smart film studio in Shanghai. In education, with the permission of the Ministry of Education, we are deeply involved in the research and development of the metaverse, with plans to promote it in schools later.
 
On October 18th, President Xi Jinping, in his opening speech at the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, proposed to deepen international cooperation for high-quality development, marking a new era for the Belt and Road. At our Belt and Road Women’s Forum, we discuss how technology can make the world more beautiful, hoping to contribute more to creating a beautiful world together.
 
Finally, I wish the Belt and Road Women's Forum great success. Thank you!
