On Friday, February 7, 2025, the University of Defence welcomed the Korean Consul, H.E. Jinheung Kim, from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Prague.

The Consul delivered a professional lecture as part of the 43rd General Staff Course in Regional Studies. This course focuses on strategic and security situations in selected regions of interest and the policies and activities of key state actors in relation to our country’s national security interests.

In his lecture, the Consul focused on the geopolitical delineation of the Southeast Asian region, discussing his country’s security policy, national security strategy, and the current security situation in the area. He also highlighted key milestones in modern Korean history, such as the Korean War (1950-53) and its lasting consequences. Another interesting part of his presentation concerned relations with North Korea and the demarcation line.
