South Korean embassy in Dhaka is going to organise a music concert at Shah Amanat Auditorium in Chittagong on Saturday, ending three days of celebration to mark 41 years of diplomatic ties.
Korea is one of Bangladesh's most committed partners in development.
Its companies helped Bangladesh’s garment industry to flourish in the late 1970s with training and equipment.
The two-way trade is close to $2 billion now.
The embassy began music concert, “Charm of Korea”, from last year as part of its public diplomacy effort.

The celebration to mark 41 years of diplomatic ties began Wednesday with the opening concert at the residence of the ambassador.
The second concert was held at Dhaka University on Thursday.
Korean musicians will perform on Saturday as they host the ‘Charm of Korea’.
Ambassador Lee Yun-young earlier said Korea and Bangladesh enjoyed “an excellent partnership”.
He said they believed that “culture has been deepening our friendly relationship and binding our people closer”.
