Herald Media Group will co-host Africa Day 2025 Korea in collaboration with the African Group of Ambassadors representing 19 countries and the Korea-Africa Foundation, under the theme "Building Bridges, Creating Opportunities."

The event will highlight progress in economic diplomacy with a business forum and a cultural gala in the evening.

After opening remarks by co-hosts, Choi Jin-young, CEO of Herald Media Group, and Ambassador Chafik Rachadi of Morocco, who is also dean of the AGA, Deputy Minister of Trade Park Jongwon will deliver a congratulatory address.

Ambassador Kais Darragi of Tunisia will moderate the panel discussion, "Korea-Africa Synergy in an Era of Disruption," featuring experts from Africa and South Korea — notably including Ambassador and professor Emmy Jerono Kipsoi of Kenya.

The second session, titled "Africa Day Celebration," will commemorate African unity and friendship with Korea, beginning with a performance by the Africa Insight Champion Choir to showcase Korea–Africa musical harmony.

Kim Young-chae, president of the Korea-Africa Foundation, and Rachadi will deliver welcoming remarks, followed by celebratory speeches from South Korea’s Ambassador for Public Diplomacy Jung Kihong.
