Considering cultural exchange one of the most sustainable channels of diplomacy, President Park Geun-hye has been sparing no efforts in touting Korean culture, especially during her overseas trips. This year, marking the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations with France, the South Korean government is determined to create synergy with hallyu, or the Korean Wave, to foster friendly relations with the European country. 

South Korean President Park Geun-hye said that through cultural exchanges Ethiopia and Korea could deepen their age-long friendships, and cooperation. The two nations have exhibited their cultures yesterday at Nelson Mandela Hall, Addis Ababa University.
