Chief of NARS Visits New Zealand Parliamentary Library

2013.07.12

 




On a recent trip to New Zealand from July 11-12, 2013 Dr. Koh Hyun Wook, Chief of NARS, visited the country's Parliamentary Library, the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies (IGPS) at Victoria University of Wellington, and New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER), meeting with key personnel from each institute.


In a meeting with Parliamentary Librarian Ms. Barbara McPhee, Dr. Koh discussed plans on how to improve each institution. The two exchanged opinions and views on a diverse range of subjects including cooperative measures between their respective institutions.


As part of this ongoing cooperation, an official invitation was sent to the New Zealand Parliamentary Library to attend the 4th NARS International Seminar, which will be held on November 1, 2013. The New Zealand Parliamentary Library expressed its great interest and positive consideration to attend this important event.


Following the visit to the Parliamentary Library, Dr. Koh met with Dr. Jonathan Boston, Director of IGPS. Dr. Boston gave a detailed overview of New Zealand's highly regarded policy transparency, and both men openly discussed the current situation of public- private-academia cooperation.


On the final leg of the trip, Dr. Koh met with Dr. Kirdan Lees, Senior Economist and Head of Public Good Research at NZIER. Dr. Lees provided a detailed briefing on the current state of New Zealand's economy. During their meeting, the two shared the opinion that the Republic of Korea and New Zealand are both currently facing similar issues and potential problems in areas of real estate, finance, and agriculture competitiveness.


Based on this productive visit to New Zealand, NARS expects to strengthen its foreign-information gathering capability and analytical capacity through its information exchange agreement among important think tanks in both Korea and New Zealand
