"About 100 people gathered at the Korean Ambassador's residence H.E. Mr Il-Soo Kim and wife Mrs Moonkyung Son on the evening of January 18, for a celebration of Korean culture, marking the beginning of the year of the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic relations of Israel and Korea. The evening, organized by the Korean Embassy jointly with iAsia website, included an open dialogue with the Ambassador of Korea in Israel, Mr. Ilsoo Kim, and a Korean cooking demonstration performed by Mrs. Moonkyung Son, the Ambassador's wife.

The evening started with short presentations by Ms. Tali Tessler, member of the Israeli Youth Delegation to Korea, in which prominent Israelis under the age of 35 can take part. The members of the program get to visit Korea and meet fellow Koreans who share common interests, mainly in the fields of politics, economics and culture.

Mr. Diaa Hammad, the Second Secretary from the Egyptian Embassy in Tel Aviv and  President of DATA, (Diplomatic Association Tel Aviv) initiated the event along with Tali Farkas from the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzilya: Mr. Farkas is a student of government diplomacy and strategy.
 

The concept behind the evening, as put forth by Mr. Diaa Hammad, was for the diplomatic core in Tel Aviv to get together in casual circumstances and "have fun."
The IDC (Interdisciplinary Center) students who volunteered in helping design the event were enthused to participate, due to data being such a respected platform in which to network with diplomats while learning some of the nuances about the various diplomatic corps.
 

Just as the dress-code of the event was casual, so was the atmosphere. Clearly, the evening was a success with the contingent of dignitaries in attendance as the relaxed atmosphere dictated that the evening would be centered around a tranquil night at the movies without having to focus on the usual issues parlayed at diplomatic events.
