The purpose of this seminar was two-fold. First, it wanted to seek the advice and expertise of the OECD and advanced economies of the world on how Korea should prepare itself for the New Economy and globalization and how it can better managed and complete our economic restructuring efforts which began three years ago.
Second, it wanted to increase the awareness of the Korean public about the economic cooperation and collective discourse taking place among the advanced economies under the auspices of the OECD.
