Based on this recognition, Korea’s Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) was launched in 2004 by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) and the Korea Development Institute (KDI). KSP aims to share Korea’s experience and knowledge with the partner countries to achieve mutual prosperity and cooperative partnership. Former high-ranking government officials are directly involved in the policy consultation to share their intimate knowledge of development challenges, and to complement the analytical work of policy experts and specialists who have extensive experience in their fields. The government officials and practitioners effectively pair up with their counterparts in the development partner countries to work jointly on pressing policy challenges and share development knowledge in the process. The program includes policy research, consultation and capacity-building activities, all in all to provide comprehensive and tailor-made assistance to the development partner countries in building a stable foundation and fostering capabilities to pursue self-sustainable growth. In 2015, policy consultation and capacity building workshop were carried out with 26 partner countries covering over 100 research agendas. As a new partner, Nicaragua and Visegrad Group were selected in consideration of the country’s policy demand, growth potential, and strategic economic partnership. The 2015/16 Knowledge Sharing Program with Uzbekistan was carried out with the aim of exchanging socio-economic development experience of two countries for improving Uzbekistan’s policy making capacity and achieving her socio-economic development. Under the active cooperation between two nations, the joint research and seminars were conducted in order to support the establishment of “Supporting Uzbekistan’s Development Strategy in Key Policy Areas: Special Economic Zone, Industrial Development, Public Budgeting and Postgraduate Education”. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Senior Advisor Mr. Bong-Kyun Kang, Project Manager and Executive Director of CID Siwook Lee, as well as the project consultants including Prof. Changik Jo, Prof. Jong Il Kim, and Prof. Seul Ki Choi for their immense efforts in successfully completing the 2015/16 KSP with Uzbekistan. I am also grateful to Executive Director Dr. Siwook Lee, and Program Officer Ms. Nu Ri Leem, and all members of the Center for International Development, KDI for their hard work and dedication to this program. Lastly, I extend my warmest thanks to the Uzbekistan counterparts, the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Investment and Trade, Ministry of Finance and Institute of Forecasting and Macroeconomic Research, program coordinators, and participants for showing active cooperation and great support. In your hands is the publication of the results of the 2015/16 KSP with Uzbekistan. I believe that KSP will serve as a valuable opportunity to further elevate mutual economic cooperation of Uzbekistan and Korea to a new level. I sincerely hope the final research results on the selected areas could be fully utilized to support Uzbekistan in achieving economic development goal in the near future.
