The Corea Image Communication Institute (CICI) is set to hold the 11th Culture Communication Forum (CCF) on Aug. 26-27 at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, the global culture promotion advocacy group said Thursday.

The forum will focus on changes in the delivery of cultural content in the post-coronavirus era.

Experts from around the globe ― including comic book author Amy Chu, Spanish author Javier Moro, radio and TV presenter Francine Stock and K-pop columnist Jeff Benjamin ― will discuss the topic with the panel members in Korea through video calls.

French Ambassador Philippe Lefort; EU Ambassador Michael Reiterer; Swedish Ambassador Jakob Hallgren; Indonesian Ambassador Umar Hadi; Canadian Ambassador Michael Danagher; Indian Ambassador Sripriya Ranganathan; and Jerome Kim, director general of the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), are among the panelists who will be present at the event in Korea.

"Leaders of cultural communication will also suggest how we can enhance Korea's national brand (following the pandemic)," the CICI said in a statement.

Cedric O, Secretary of State for the Digital Sector of France, will give congratulatory remarks and French economist/futurologist Jacques Attali will give a keynote presentation via video call on Aug. 26. French performer of pansori ― a Korean genre of musical storytelling ― Laure Mafo will also give a special performance on Aug. 27.

Opinion leaders such as former Prime Minister Han Seung-soo and CJ Group Chairman Sohn Kyung-shik are scheduled to attend the event, which the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korean Culture and Information Service, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will co-host.
