Collaboration with Developing Nations

I would like to propose some suggestions to industrialized countries that would like to collaborate with developing nations. In order to make my proposals easy to follow I will use two countries as examples, Korea and Algeria.

Bilateral relations start and develop by communication. Both countries should know each other well. In our example, Kore should broadcast at least one TV channel over Algeria which would be accessible with the common satellite used in the country. This channel should show different aspects of life in Korea. The channel would be broadcast in Arabic and Korean. Famous voice over people should be selected for the dubbing to maximize the effect. Some of the programs would be presented by Algerian people living in Korea. They would present Korea from their own cultural perspective which would be more effective on Algerian people compared to a Korean dubbed in Arabic. Similar channel doing the opposite would be established in Korea as well.

For the language part, Korea should teach more of its people Arabic. Given the potential of Arabic speaking countries, it is an effort with high returns. Teaching the analysts Arabic would be the initial step. The analysts communicate with the clients. They listen and convince them. Korea should also open language courses, online teaching platforms and free mobile apps to teach Arabic speaking people Korean.

In order to speed up the bilateral relations, Korea should provide customized services to Algeria. Such as E-Government to automize, trade, logistics and import & export. Solutions should be developed and presented to Algeria to speed up its bureaucracy.

Algeria is rich with natural resources. However raw resources have no use unless they are processed. It’s better for Korea to establish some energy intense material processing plants in energy rich Algeria. It is better to buy sheet steel instead of raw iron. Else you need to import energy besides the iron ore to convert it to sheet steel.

Culture and language penetration determines a nation's collaboration effectiveness. In that regard U.S.A. is way ahead of the other nations including China. Look how they did it and come up with alternative solutions to best suit your country.
