On January 23, Sungkyunkwan University President, Dr. Kyu Sang CHUNG, invited H.E. Ernesto Cordero Arroyo, the Speaker of the Mexican Senate, to give a special lecture.

Senator Arroyo graduated from the Mexican Autonomous Institute of Technology (ITAM) and earned a master's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, USA.

Senator Arroyo gave a special lecture on entitled "Mexico in a Changing World: Challenges and Opportunities". He explained the current situation in Mexico, a center of massive political and economic change, and explained to students how Mexico will overcome this uncertainty.

Senator Arroyo's visit to South Korea was made possible through an invitation from Sye Kyun CHUNG, the Speaker of the Korean National Assembly. Senator Arroyo wished to visit Sungkyunkwan University, the oldest university in Korea, and give a special lecture at SKKU because of his interest in Education. SKKU's President Kyu Sang CHUNG said, "Mexico is the center of the Korean Wave in Central and South America."

Through Senator Arroyo's visit, a variety of projects are being planned with several universities in order to realize not only education and research, but also practical exchange and cooperation between students and cultures.
