On the occasion of the Emirati-Korean Cultural Dialogue, the Ministry of Culture and Youth is launching the Emirati Film Week, which will be held online from June 18 to 24, as a special initiative, organized in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in South Korea, the Korean Cultural Center in the UAE, and the Association The Korean Arab, and the UAE-Korea Friendship Society.

Minister of Culture and Youth Noura bint Mohammed Al Kaabi said: “The Emirati-Korean Film Week, which is part of the Emirati-Korean cultural dialogue, is another initiative as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.

She noted that joint relations with the Republic of Korea are strong in various fields, including cultural and creative fields.

Since films are one of the most effective media for conveying the cultural heritage of the UAE society, I am confident that the seven films that are shown during the next week will help our brothers in Korea have a deeper understanding of our culture and society.”

Noura Al Kaabi pointed out that the cultural rapprochement between friendly countries greatly complements the depth of political and strategic relations on the one hand, and enhances popular relations on the other hand, adding: I hope that our two countries will communicate with each other continuously on the cultural level, so that we develop a comprehensive understanding of literature, art and lifestyles. Some of us have social traits.

"This special event will result in a deeper understanding of our cultures through films, and I would like to extend my congratulations to the people of the UAE, who celebrate the 50th National Day of the UAE," said South Korea's Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Hwang Hee.
