The World Korean International Trade Association (Chairman Park Jong-beom, hereinafter referred to as 'World Octa') held a launching ceremony for the Korea-Russia Economic Forum Committee at the GBC of the Small and Medium Venture Business Promotion Corporation in Moscow, Russia, on the 28th.

The Korea-Russia Economic Forum Committee, newly launched by the 22nd World Octa executive branch, will carry out various cooperation measures over the next two years, including economic cooperation between Korea and Russia and overseas expansion of domestic SMEs.

The opening ceremony was successful with a total of 20 people attending, including World Okta Chairman Park Jong-beom, Russian Ambassador Lee Do-hoon, Director Lee Seong-im of the Small and Medium Venture Business Promotion Corporation, Director Lee Hee-chan of Korea Development Bank, Chairman Shin Kwang-hee of the Korea-Russia Economic Forum, members of the three World Okta Russian branches (Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Vladivostok) and honorary members composed of related organizations and local experts.

Russian Ambassador Lee Do-hoon promised the embassy's active cooperation and support for the Korea-Russia Economic Forum to be held by World Octa in the future and shared opinions on major Russian economic issues and difficulties related to market development by local businessmen.

"Please make organic efforts for Korea-Russia economic cooperation in the future through economic forums to derive cooperation at the private level," World Octa Chairman Park Jong-beom said. "In particular, please play a leading role in cooperation in trade, finance, science and technology, as well as the development of World Octa members, as well as overseas expansion of domestic SMEs."

Shin Kwang-hee, chairman of the Korea-Russia Economic Forum, said, "The Korea-Russia Economic Forum will create an opportunity to derive practical economic cooperation between Korea and Russia, not just holding events." 

A meeting of the Moscow branch of World Okta was also held during the event.
