On 29 June 2022, PSPS hosted the 'PSPS Saemaul International Development Achievement Sharing and Admission Briefing' at the Korea Press Center in Seoul. About 30 diplomats from 21 countries, including ambassadors from eight countries, showed keen interest in nurturing talents for Saemaul International Development. From Yeungnam University, President Choi Oe-Chool, Dean of PSPS Yi Huiuk, IIDC Director Kim Ki-Su, and several other professors attended.

The event was organized by PSPS, which celebrated its 11th anniversary, to share the achievements of nurturing talent and Saemaul international development projects and introduce the PSPS master’s degree programs to diplomatic envoys.

The diplomats exchanged questions and answers with PSPS students who attended the event during the Briefing Q&A session and throughout the lunch break. 

Zambian Ambassador to Korea Wilbur Shimusa said, “For the development of Zambia through the Saemaul Undong, the role of experts and leaders in the field of Saemaul International Development is more important than anything else. In the future, the Zambian embassy in Korea will actively recommend PSPS to talented young people in Zambia.”

Choi Oe-Chool, President of Yeungnam University, said, “The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has been promoting the Saemaul Zero Hunger Communities project to solve the problem of absolute poverty since 2011. As seen in this case, Saemaul is a brand representing Korea's education and culture.” He also said, "I will contribute to overcoming poverty in the international community and common prosperity in the global community by sharing Korea's development experience and Saemaul Undong’s know-how with the world.“

PSPS Dean Yi said, "A consensus has been formed with foreign diplomats, including ambassadors, to foster talents in the field of Saemaul international development.”
