The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport met Korean and British companies in London to help strengthen the UK and Korea\u2019s commercial collaboration across the creative industries.<\/p>\n

The Culture Secretary recognised Korea\u2019s thriving creative sector and strengths in technology, music, visual effects and animation. <\/p>\n

He also highlighted the UK\u2019s involvement in major projects in Korea, including a Shakespeare education programme and the British Library\u2019s work with the National Library of Korea to digitise a range of books, manuscripts and maps.<\/p>\n

Culture Secretary John whittingdale said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is wonderful to see how the relationship between the UK and Korea has gone from strength to strength. The first UK-Korea Creative Industries Forum in Seoul in November 2014 laid the foundations for an even stronger industry and economic partnership, one based on shared values and two vibrant creative sectors.<\/p>\n

As two leaders in the creative economy, the UK and Korea are well matched to address the creative and innovative challenges of our time. I am sure that all of you at today\u2019s Forum will be part of this exciting journey and I look forward to seeing an even greater bilateral collaboration emerge as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n
