SHENYANG, China, Sept. 30, 2024 — The Shenyang-Korea Investment and Trade Expo & Shenyang South Korea Week 2024 commenced at the Shenyang New World Expo on September 26th.

Focused on the theme “Sharing Opportunities, Joint Planning for Development, and Creating the Future Together,” this year’s South Korea Week features a comprehensive program of “2+8+7” activities, encompassing economic, cultural, and sports exchanges, as well as consumer promotions. The event aims to maximize Shenyang’s foreign openness potential and deepen cooperation with South Korea. It seeks to establish a new platform for China-ROK exchange and cooperation that is more extensive, comprehensive, and integrated.

During the five-day South Korea Week, over 100 Korean businesses, including those from the ROK and branches in China, are showcasing over 400 products at the Shenyang New World Expo.

A representative from the Shenyang Municipal Commerce Bureau highlighted the significance of economic and trade cooperation as the cornerstone of China-ROK relations. The Republic of Korea stands as Shenyang’s second-largest source of foreign investment and its fifth-largest trading partner, playing a pivotal role in the city’s open economy. This year’s South Korea Week is promoting in-depth interactions through various activities centered on Shenyang-ROK economic development and industrial cooperation needs, including seminars featuring businesses from both sides, keynote speeches, and themed promotional events.

Beyond specialized economic activities, this year’s South Korea Week has also arranged seven cultural and sports exchange activities, along with consumer promotion events. For instance, the Chinese-Korean Gastronomy Fair will take place at Xita Chaoxian Culture Street, known as a “foodie’s paradise,” offering DIY activities, Korean cuisine tastings, and immersive experiences showcasing Korean culinary delights.

Since its inception in 2002, South Korea Week has been held on 20 occasions and has become a prominent fixture in Chinese-Korean economic and cultural collaboration. In April of this year, South Korea Week expanded its reach internationally by hosting the “Korea-Shenyang Activities Week 2024” in Seoul for the first time, effectively enhancing Shenyang’s recognition and reputation in the Republic of Korea.
