Meet Addis Lulu‚ a chemical engineering student from Ethiopia. "Now I've completed my Korean language course for one year. So now I'm attending my master's program. I was able to come to Korea because my grandfather has a story with Korea." Lulu's grandfather was one of the six-thousand Ethiopian soldiers who fought with the South during the Korean War. Emperor Haile Selassie sympathized with Korea's ordeal under Japanese colonization and dispatched a battalion to support the South. Ethiopia lost 121 soldiers in the conflict and more than 500 hundred were injured. After the ceasefire in 1953‚ Ethiopia helped South Korea rebuild‚ providing medical support and welfare. Since 1991‚ Korea has been repaying Ethiopia's generosity with official development assistance. "In terms of the budget supported‚ it is the largest beneficiary among African countries. KOICA touches upon the areas of focus‚ which are health‚ education‚ rural development‚ ICT and climate change agenda." Korean aid to Ethiopia has so far reached around 108 million U.S. dollars‚ and this year there are eleven bilateral projects underway. Korea also supports veterans' descendants with scholarships for students in Ethiopia from elementary school to university. For post-graduate studies‚ students like Lulu have the chance to study in Korea. Reflecting on President Park's state visit to Ethiopia‚ Lulu says he hopes for stronger ties between the two countries. More than anything‚ he hopes the story of their friendship will be passed down and remembered by future generations. Oh Soo-young‚ Arirang News. Reporter : osy@arirang.co.kr
