In keeping with the purpose of Culturelink, an umbrella network for research and cooperation in cultural development headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia, the Korean National Commission for UNESCO (KNCU) established the Asia-Pacific Regional Centre of the Culturelink Network (APRCCN) in November 1997 under the auspices of UNESCO and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Korea.

As an integral part of the Culturelink Network and based on the official agreement made between the Culturelink Network and the KNCU, APRCCN aims to extend the sphere of the Culturelink network and its activities in the Asia-Pacific region by facilitating information exchange, joint research on cultural development and related policies among cultural institutions and experts in this region.
