                Established in 1997, the Overseas Koreans Foundation is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The organization's efforts have been focused on promoting the rights and interests of the 7 million overseas Koreans and their advancement into mainstream society.

                The organization, as it celebrates its 11th year anniversary, places high priority in expanding the political influence of overseas Koreans.
