Prof. Kenneth Stephen Julien, President of the University of Trinidad and Tobago, will visit Korea from October 14 to 18 by invitation of the Korea Foundation.

The role of The University of Trinidad and Tobago founded in 2004 is to meet the needs of Trinidad and Tobago for a highly trained and qualified technological manpower base concentrating its efforts on the education field of engineering and technology. He has been the driving force in the development of the national energy sector in Trinidad and Tobago as well as the Caribbean in Central America, and he holds an additional position as a member of the standing committee of the National Energy Consultative Council.

Since many Korean companies are interested in extending their business to Trinidad and Tobago, his visit is expected to boost energy exchanges between the two countries, resulting in positive prospects for overseas expansion.

During his stay, Prof. Julien will meet with counterparts in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Gas Corporation, Korea East-West Power Co. Ltd., the new renewable energy center and KAIST. There will be a small gathering for discussions on cooperation in the energy field between the two countries. He will also get a chance to visit Insa-dong, a Korean Traditional Performance and LEEUM Museum of Art for a first-hand opportunity to appreciate Korea’s past and present.
