OBJECTIVES:
The Kim Dae-jung Award was established to honor the legacy of Kim Dae-jung, the 15th President of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) from 1998 to 2003 and Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2000. A revered democratic philosopher-statesman, as well as the author of the 30-volume Kim Dae-jung Works, he is celebrated for translating his democratic philosophies and ideas into concrete policies that benefited both Korea and the world during his presidency.
