The Embassy is currently active on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Naver, and YouTube. It is our ambition to be at the forefront of online public diplomacy (or tech-plomacy as we like to call it) and you will be in charge of advancing our efforts further. Also, as we value cross-sectoral cooperation, the assistant will be expected to support all other sections at the Embassy where needed, including the Trade Council, the Innovation Centre, the Health department, and the Energy department.
