The Opening Ceremony for the “2020-2021 Year of Mutual Exchange between Korea and Russia” took place on March 24 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, co-hosted by their Ministries of Foreign Affairs. The Opening Ceremony, one of the first in-person ministerial events between Korea and Russia since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was held as part of the diverse celebrations for the 30th anniversary, which have taken place largely online since last year. The ceremony carries significance in that it marked the full-scale beginning of the “Year of Mutual Exchange between Korea and Russia.”
