S. Korea, Central Asia to research mythology, folktales
SEOUL, Aug. 26 (Yonhap) -- Culture officials from South Korea and five Central Asian countries met in Seoul on Wednesday, holding their first discussion over a joint research project aimed at gathering and organizing little-known myths and folktales from Asia.
Five Central Asian countries, including Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan,
are taking part in the Seoul-proposed plan.
The meeting that runs through Thursday in central Seoul will lay the groundwork
for organizing the stories into an archive at South Korea's national culture
center. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2012, Seoul officials said.
???We will be able to together form a 'storytelling road,' a brand new cultural
belt linking South Korea and Central Asia with mysterious Asian mythic
tales,???South Korean Vice Culture Minister Kim Dae-ki said in a welcoming speech.
