The significance of the meeting

Like the modern history of South Korea, the history of overseas migration of Koreans has experienced vicissitudes, and most of their compatriots abroad have not been taken care of by their own governments. Today, the national strength is greatly enhanced. Compatriots living abroad are part of the Korean nation and an important force for national development, so it is necessary to change the policy towards compatriots. Holding a Korean overseas Chinese NGO conference can directly listen to the opinions of overseas Chinese and form an NGO network, which is of great benefit to publicizing overseas Chinese policies.
