Embassy of the Republic of Korea to the Republic of Lebanon

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea (ROK) in Beirut is very pleased and proud to welcome you to our website. The Embassy is confident that our presence on the global Internet will prove to be a valuable channel for dialogue for the Lebanese people and the Korean people to deepen our mutual understanding and thereby strengthen the bilateral relationship between our two countries.

At the outset, I wish to stress the fact that, despite its small size only equal to the Korea's Gyeonggi-do Province and its small population just over four million, Lebanon, at the crossroads of Asia and Africa in the Eastern Mediterranean, is actually a big country with over 14 million members of its diaspora scattered around the world.

Particularly, the entrepreneurship inherited since the Phoenician times is still manifested in the business network of world-wide Lebanese diaspora which I am sure laid a solid foundation for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of this country. Strengthening the close relationship between Lebanon and Korea will contribute to the expansion of the world market for both countries which require their active and sustained engagement in the global economy in this age of globalization.

The Embassy will do its best to provide you with up-to-date information on the development of current issues as well as general information on Korea, especially in the areas of economy, business and investment. We hope to make our wbsite a reliable source of information for the Lebanese people who seek business partnerships with their Korean counterparts.

In our effort to keep our website up-to-date, we welcome your advice and guidance to help improve it.

We hope indeed that this website will be a faithful guide to further our bilateral relations and to enrich your knowledge on Korea.

Please, enjoy your journey through our website.
