ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Poetry is a tool of communication that Republic of Korea's Consul General to Erbil hopes can help strengthen relations between his country and the Kurdistan Region.
“Today we witnessed two countries engage in the communication of their ideas and expression of their feelings,” Consul General Choi Kwang-Jin said at a Kurdish-Korean poetry seminar on Tuesday at Public Library of Hawler-Zaytun in Sami Abdulrahman Park.
The event was organized with the assistance of the library, which translated Kurdish and Korean poems. They hope to make it a monthly event.
“I think we already laid a very strong foundation through this event from now on maybe Korea and Kurdistan can have the brightest future and the brightest tomorrow. So maybe from now on, Kurdistan and Korea take hand-in-hand and we just move forward for the future,” said the consul.
