Meetings in March

On 19 March 2025, a meeting was held with representatives of K-Water and the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST).

Meeting between K-Water and HSS Korea

Providing safe and clean water is one of the most important tasks of the state (and many unfortunately fail sometimes or all the time). At the same time, this task often has a profound and sometimes harmful impact on the environment. In Korea, K-Water is the public agency responsible for drinking water, dams, water and flood control, etc. Now officials from K-Water, led by Director General Shim Kidong of the Water Resources Planning Department, met with Hanns-Seidel-Foundation in Seoul to discuss water policy issues on the Korean peninsula. We thank you for the friendly, interesting and productive exchange of ideas!
