My name is Sandra Farinha Martins and I received the exciting opportunity to do an 8-week internship at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in Seoul, Korea. I came to Korea in August 2019 to do a Master’s degree majoring in International Relations at GSIS Sogang University and I am looking forward to being part of the team and to contributing to the research on North- and South Korea. During my studied at university I focused extensively on historical and recent events between the two Koreas. Some major topics we discussed were the Korean War, the evolution of diplomatic relations between the Koreas and the Korean economic development. I am happy to be here and excited for the journey with FNF! Thank you!

Sarah just completed her 7 week internship at FNF Korea. We wish her the best for her future! "The time at the FNF Korea was rather short time of 7 weeks but I could not be happier having spent the past weeks at this office. I want to thank my colleagues who provided a welcoming and warm atmosphere for me always. I was able to grow through my given tacs and moreover it showed me new new interesting aspects of the work in Korea. Thanks to the foundation I am even more encouraged to continue my studies in Korean Studies in Germany and come back some day when the situation allows it! Everyone stay healthy and keep up the great work! 💙 Thank you!"

Today we had the great pleasure to welcome Dr. Martin Henkelmann, new President & CEO of Korean German Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KGCCI). We discussed various current issues in South Korea and how we can continue our succesful FNF-KGCCI cooperation in the future. We look forward to staying in touch and work together!
