This event, jointly organized by K-water, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Malaysia, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Climate Change (NRECC*) of Malaysia, aimed to promote cooperation between South Korea and Malaysia in the field of water and commemorate the 40th anniversary of Malaysia’s Look East Policy, which was inspired by South Korea’s success.

The event featured sharing policies and the latest developments in the water industry by major water institutions from both countries, technical presentations, and a technology roadshow by domestic small and venture companies in the water sector.
