Looking Beyond the Horizons

Sri Lanka – Korea Rural Development Administration Alumni Association has been organized in Sri Lanka to promote further bilateral cooperation for the mutual benefit of both countries and all its members.

 
There are over 75 founder members of the Association who had visited RDA, Korea as trainees, exchange mission experts, official representatives, collaborative researchers, honorary scientists, as well as presenters or participants in conferences, seminars and workshops over the past two decades. The SriLanKoRDAA is the fifth Alumni Association of the RDA organized in foreign countries and we are very grateful to the RDA leadership for taking the initiative and for providing the seed money to organize this important Association. 

The RDA, being the lead organization in Korea’s national agricultural research and extension systems, has a lot to offer to as well as benefit from Sri Lanka, which too has a diversified agricultural set-up with fairly advanced research, extension and educational systems. The two countries had, in the past, implemented successfully many agricultural projects collaboratively. This was made possible not only because of the availability of technical expertise but also due to the cultural compatibility and the warm interpersonal relationship among the scientists of the two countries.

We, the founder members of the Sri LanKoRDAA, are committed to maintaining the solidarity among the members and to contribute the utmost to ensure the growth of the Association from strength to strength leading to the achievement of the common goal for the benefit of both Sri Lanka and Korea.
