Joint events with the Korean Development Institute

The role of middle powers and current trends in international development policy were in focus.

In the last week of June, Dr Stephan Klingebiel and Dr Niels Keijzer were in South-Korea as part of the ongoing cooperation between IDOS and the Korean Development Institute (KDI). They jointly organised the third annual KDI-IDOS seminar in Sejong to discuss the role of middle powers in global development, as well as jointly organised a panel during the annual conference of the Korea Association of International Development and Cooperation (KAIDEC) in Busan. This event discussed current trends in international development policy with a focus on South-Korea, Japan, Germany and the European Union. During the week, they also visited the UN Seoul Policy Centre and made other contributions to the KAIDEC conference.
