On January 13, 2012, Hon. Chung Ui Hwa, Chairperson of WSPU and the Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea officially visited the Republic of Kenya with other delegates of the Korean National Assembly and had the opportunity to meet H.E. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, National Chief Commissioner of Kenya Scout Association and Vice- President of the Republic of Kenya.

During this meeting, Hon. Chung explained to the other Korean delegates how he and H.E. Musyoka had first met as Scouts Leaders. Following the introductions, members of both delegations discussed their nations potential opportunities to cooperate in education, science technology, water resources management, new recycling energy development, ICT (information and communications technology), as well as Kenya's possible opportunity to learn from Korea's SaeMaEul Movement (the new community movement of Korea started in 1970). Participants to the meeting also shared opinions about the two countries pending issues, such as clearing the sea of Somalia pirates, their respective upcoming general and presidential elections and H.E Musyoka's plan to visit Korea.

Hon. Chung mentioned the launch of Korean Airlines' direct flight to Nairobi, which should start in June 2012, and said he is expecting the enhancement of cultural exchange and interactions between the two countries and the development of Kenya's tourism industry. He also hoped that many Korean companies would invest in Kenya, so it may help create more jobs there for the benefit of Kenya's prosperity and happiness.

H.E. Musyoka responded that he was grateful to Hon. Chung and the other delegate's official visit to Kenya and he welcomed Korean Airline's direct flights to Nairobi in June 2012. He said he highly praises Korea's efforts to overcome the economic depression in the past and he has much interest in cooperation and improving the economic relationship between Kenya and Korea.

Hon. Chung explained that in order to enhance the economic cooperation, it is necessary to increase cultural exchanges and interactions between their two nations. He also asked Kenya's position about clearing the sea of Somalia pirates, especially since Kenya has focused its priority on the tourism industry. H.E. Musoyka expressed his regret about the four Korean crewmembers, which were kidnapped by Somalia and he said that they would continue their efforts to solve this problem.

Additionally, Hon. Chung conveyed the possibility of cooperating in a reciprocal way (in regards to the two countries' cooperation fields) and suggested more should be done to consider ways of improving the cooperation between their two states.

H.E. expressed his gratitude and said that he considered Korea as Kenya's main partner in Asia and that they would like to learn from the development strategy and experience of Korea. He also noted that as East Africa's leading country, he would share the idea about the necessity of enhancing their countries' partnership in many fields for the coming future. Following the meeting, H.E. Musoyka and the Korean delegates attended a dinner meeting hosted by the Korean embassy in Kenya and continued their discussion about the way of promoting increased mutual understanding and goodwill between the two countries.

Hon. Chung, who is also Chairperson of WSPU and of KSPA (Korea Scout Parliamentary Association) also brought dozens of gifts (including footballs, pencils and notebooks) prepared by KSPA and delivered them to H.E. Musyoka and kindly asked him to distribute them to the Kenyan Scouts.

On 17th January, Hon. Chung officially visited Moroccan National Assembly and met Hon. Mohamed Cheikh Biadillah, the President of the Senate and Hon. Karlm Ghellab, the Speaker of the House. During this meeting, Hon. Chung declared that 2012 is an important year, as it marks the 50th anniversary of establishing Korea-Morocco's diplomatic relations. He expressed his hopes that the two countries' relationship will be even stronger following his, and his fellow Korean National Assembly delegates, official visit to Morocco. Representatives of the Moroccan national assembly responded that they consider Korea as a role model for economic development and think the two countries have a lot of potential for cooperation on human resources and economical development, due to their similar historical and geographical factors. They also added that they would strive to encourage a better development of the two countries' relations.

Hon. Chung, in his role of Chairman of WSPU and KSPA, also brought footballs, pencils and notebooks and asked the Korean embassy in Morocco distribute them to Moroccan Scouts.
