We will build Overseas Koreans Agency that works with our Global Korean Communities and Korean citizens.
On June 5, 2023, the Yoon Suk Yeol administration launched the Overseas Koreans Agency, delivering the long-held aspirations of global Korean communities. The agency is dedicated to serving the needs of our overseas Koreans.
Today, 7 million overseas Koreans worldwide have become proud and valuable members of their local societies, contributing to Korea's rise to become the 'Global Pivotal State.'
Our goal at the Overseas Koreans Agency is to support the global Korean communities in taking pride in their Korean heritage, establishing solid roots in their host countries, contributing to their communities, and acting as a vital link between Korea and their countries of residence.
We aim to create a closely-knit connection between Korea and the overseas Korean communities, foster mutual growth and development as a 'Global Korean Community,' and contribute to world peace and prosperity.
The Overseas Koreans Agency will faithfully serve as a bridge, ensuring that Korea and the overseas Koreans communities support and uplift each other in harmony.
We are committed to listening more attentively to the voices of our overseas Koreans communities, getting closer to them, and warmly embracing them.
We will always be the agency that stands together with our global Korean communities and Korean citizens.
Thank you.
Commissioner of the Overseas Koreans Agency
