CEO Kim has been active in the private diplomacy in the field of energy and sports. His energy-related activity especially has been influential in speaking for interests of Korea to the world energy field. Kim is the Vice Chairman of the WEC and represents 23 Asia Pacific countries. He has successfully hosted last year’s Asia Regional Meeting in Seoul, with help of his network. He is also investigating to see what he can do to help Daegu be the next city for the general meeting. He states that if Daegu would be selected as the city to host the meeting, “it will mean a great opportunity to PR Daegu to the world while expecting a 50billion dollar-worth economic spin- offs.” Kim has participated in a great deal in making energy ministers of five countries meet for a meeting last May; he held a closed talk with the Macao government and strongly suggested in holding the 5way talk meeting among Korea, Japan, China, India and USA. In celebrating the Group’s 60th anniversary, instead of a fancy ceremony, Kim held World Energy Forum inviting world famous experts in the energy field. Through ‘Genghis Khan project’, he is promoting Korea to the Mongolian people, as the Chairman of Korea-Mongolia Economic Cooperation Committee (honorary consul general to Mongolia). For this project, he has discussed Mongolia’s economic development with the President of Mongol, Nambaryn Enkhbayar during his visit to Korea this May. Kim takes an active part in the sports area as well. He was nominated the President of the Daegu Athletics Meeting in 2005 and his enthusiasm and passion as the Bidding Committee Vice President helped Daegu to be the city to host the 2011 World Championships in Athletics. His global network and English proficiency built during his Harvard years was enough for him to strongly speech his thoughts on the necessity of the hosting. CEO Kim’s also a APEC’s ABAC member and has also been participating in the WEF for the last five years. As his foreign activities expand, his global networks and Daesung Group and Korea’s economic territory alike are also to expand further. |
