ACEF
The Asia Cultural Exchange Foundation
In the 21st century, when the role of the Asia-Pacific region is increasing, Korean culture and art are distributed and publicized in East Asia, which is emerging as the center of the new global economy, and the overall fields such as politics, economy, society, culture, and language of the region are studied and needed. It aims to contribute to national economic development and brand enhancement by providing it to the government, local governments, businesses and academia.
In the new world economic order of globalization and internationalization, we aim to lead the globalization of Korea and contribute to world peace and common prosperity through cooperation and promotion of private-level cultural exchanges, Korean language education, dissemination of Korean culture, and sharing of permanent achievements. It is the purpose of the establishment of the corporation.
The Asian Cultural Exchange Foundation (ACEF) is a purely private organization established to achieve common prosperity in Asia by promoting friendship and joint cooperation through mutual understanding among countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Korea.
Due to the Korean Wave, interest in the Korean language and culture is increasing not only in Asia but also around the world. In line with this, ACEF is making efforts to spread the Korean language and introduce Korean culture to each country.
The first late President Park Seung-Jun established the Korean language department at the National University of Hanoi, Vietnam, because he felt the needs for cultural exchange in the Asian region even before the establishment of diplomatic ties between Korea and Vietnam (1992). Then, in 1996, he established the Asian Cultural Exchange Foundation and opened the Ho Chi Minh Korean Cultural Center under its umbrella, which played a major role in the exchange between Korea and Vietnam. Following Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, ACEF is planning to advance into all of Vietnam as well as Asia, laying the groundwork for disseminating the Korean language and culture.
We ask for your interest, love, and participation of many people who will be with us.
Chairman Sim Soon Hee
