ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Now in its third year, the Korean Festival returned to Erbil’s University of Kurdistan Hewler on Saturday, showcasing Korean food, arts, music, and martial arts.
Organized by The Friends of Korea and The Center For Korean Studies, the event drew hundreds of visitors eager to learn more about the far eastern culture.
“These kinds of activities will promote understanding of the mutual culture and trust,” Choi Kwang-Jin, the Consul General of Republic of Korea to Erbil, told Rudaw at the festival.
“These activities should be continuously held in the future directions between the two countries.”
The festival included a Taekwondo demonstration, music and dance performances, face painting, Korean language and calligraphy classes, and traditional games.
The Korean Consulate in Erbil also holds regular event and festivals in the Kurdistan Region. Its consul general recently opened a Taekwondo hall in Erbil.
