On June 8 NEAR Secretary-General Hong Jong-kyong visited the Institute of Global Affairs (IGA) of Kyung Hee University to discuss exchange and cooperation between the two organizations and shared opinions regarding the development of NEAR.

The Director of IGA Kwon Se-eun said that in order to maintain security and development of Northeast Asia, both exchange of central governments and the regional governments through the NEAR platform may play an important role. Secretary-General HONG requested in response that IGA, a research institute mainly focusing on the Northeast Asian Region, provide a basis and knowledge of the role of NEAR. Secretary-General HONG also requested the continuous participation in the form of academic activities in NEAR activities.
