Honorary Ambassador Members

Since the inauguration of Asia Society Korea in April 2008, we have firmly established ourselves on the peninsula, serving as an active gateway for engagement on issues affecting Korea, the Asia-Pacific region, and U.S.-Asia ties. We would not have been successful without the support from the foreign diplomatic community in Korea; therefore, we offer the newly arriving ambassadors an Honorary Ambassador Membership at Asia Society Korea as a warm welcome and a small token of our appreciation.
