In celebration of the 40th years anniversary of diplomatic relations between UAE and Korea, ‘Korea Festival 2020’ welcomes all the audiences in the UAE with various activities including concert, exhibition, online events, workshops, lectures, contests and film screenings throughout November. 

Hosted by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea and Ministry of Culture and Youth of the UAE, this year’s 7th Korea Festival is expected to greatly contribute further strengthening cultural exchanges between Korea and the UAE. Although all events will be run by online due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is expected that more diverse events which have not been attempted so far have been prepared to be more connected with the Korean culture (Hallyu) fans in the UAE.
