Ambassador Kais Darragi of Tunisia will moderate the panel discussion, "Korea-Africa Synergy in an Era of Disruption," featuring experts from Africa and South Korea — notably including Ambassador and professor Emmy Jerono Kipsoi of Kenya. The second session, titled "Africa Day Celebration," will commemorate African unity and friendship with Korea, beginning with a performance by the Africa Insight Champion Choir to showcase Korea–Africa musical harmony.
