KREI hosts international forum on rural development for implementation of UN SDGs  

The Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) hosted an international forum  to share ideas on the implementation of the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) for rural development, jointly with Gyeongsang National University (GNU), located in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, on February 15, 2022. 

The forum, held at the GNU’s Gajwa Campus, presented win-win models for regional development based on the UN SDGs and built global partnerships among public, private, and academic organizations. 

Participants from South Korea, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh shared issues faced by their countries and directions for development. Korean delegates introduced “rural utopia projects” initiated by five local governments. “Local governments, universities, corporations, and non-government organizations must cooperate in spreading the ideas of the projects worldwide and work for international partnership building,” emphasized the delegates in their presentation.

The conference was sponsored by international organizations, such as the United Nations Office for Project Services, the Asian Development Bank, and the World Student Christian Federation, and Korean organizations, such as the SDX Foundation, SDSN (Sustainable Development Solutions Network) Korea, and Korea CEO Summit.
