South Korea, as a trusted friend of Bangladesh, wants to make practical contributions to the country's socio-economic development.
Apart from economic aid, South Korea is willing to help Bangladesh by dispatching Korean volunteers to share their knowledge and expertise with Bangladeshis for betterment of the country, said Ambassador of the Republic of Korea Taiyoung Cho.
"Since 1993, KOICA has sent more than 270 volunteers to Bangladesh, mainly to work voluntarily for the government institutions here," he said.
Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) coordinates the volunteer programme, and it has 45 partner organisations in Bangladesh.
KOICA held a workshop recently to exchange its views with the partner organisations to make the volunteer programme more extensive and effective.
"We want to run the programme in such a way that it significantly contributes to the development effort of Bangladesh," said Lee Jung Wook, resident representative of KOICA in Bangladesh.
KOICA partner organisations here include Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Social Welfare, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Ministry of Textile and Jute, Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Science and ICT, and Rural Development and Cooperative Division.
KOICA works as the Korean Government's aid agency. It aims to make a better world by helping the partner countries achieve the MDGs through promoting equitable and sustainable development. KOICA also seeks to participate actively in the global efforts to enhance the capacity of nations and individuals to overcome poverty and improve their quality of life.
