To further these objectives, the KAS actively promotes economic cooperation, including business exchanges, and co-hosts or supports projects together with a wide range of related organizations. In addition, the KAS annually hosts cultural events such as the Korea-Arab Friendship Caravan and the Arab Culture Festival and develops people-to-people exchange programs, deepening mutual understanding between the peoples of both regions and laying the foundation for a sustainable economic partnership.
