The official expressed his hope that the knowledge and experience in law making and enforcement will contribute to building a strong ASEAN community of solidarity and sustainable development.

Seung-Ho Kwon, Executive Director of the institute, stressed that as political, economic and social landscapes are developing rapidly after the pandemic, the RoK and ASEAN countries need to engage more in sustainable dialogues and adjust their strategies.
