ROK has the unique experience of developing from one of the poorest countries in the world to one of the most economically advanced, as recently demonstrated by ROK’s entry into the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) on November 25, 2009. The knowhow and experience ROK gained from this transition are invaluable assets that allow the member of the APPDSA to efficiently advance and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to offer the global community hope for a better world.
