When Canada and the Republic of Korea marked 60 years of diplomatic relations in 2023, the celebration highlighted a relationship that had been steadily deepening across trade, travel and culture.

In 2024–25, that relationship took a vibrant step forward with the Canada–Korea Year of Cultural Exchanges, a bilateral initiative promoting creative ties and artistic exchange. Through projects and partnerships, the initiative transformed high-level commitment into a layered investment in artists, audiences and organizations, strengthening Canada’s arts ecosystem and opening doors to Korea and the Indo-Pacific region.
