Speaking at the event, the Korean Ambassador to Nigeria, Kim Young-Chae, said the event was specially designed to outwit the COVID-19 pandemic, which has for long paralysed activities involving large gatherings.
He said, “We are now at the end of the long and lonely tunnel of COVID-19, and the coming rainy season will soon turn nature into full of life and vibrancy. We yearn for the return to normalcy.
“In this hopeful time of the season, I am delighted to see the Korean Embassy host the exhibition under the name of ‘Beauty of Nigeria’.
“Our host country Nigeria is endowed with talents, particularly in the area of soft power such as music, movie, fashion, paintings and traditional arts. The exhibition is to share and appreciate its beauty and talent.”
