Timothy Dickens, chair of the South Asian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Korea, opened the forum with an overview of Africa's energy, infrastructure and mineral sectors.

Participants also enjoyed cultural activities such as a "seonbi darye" (scholar's tea ceremony), Korean temple cuisine and a daegeum solo performance during their visit to Bongeunsa in Gangnam.
