This donation and protective supplies were prepared to assist Daegu City, which is experiencing concentrated damage due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Along with the cash donation, 5,000 masks (donated by Evergreen) and 1,000 protective suits were delivered to the Daegu Community Chest of Korea.
The Kaesong Industrial Complex Enterprises Association holds the position that the operation of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, capable of mass-producing masks and other protective supplies, is necessary. They urged the government to appeal to the international community, including the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee, and to propose to North Korea the reopening of the Kaesong Industrial Complex to jointly overcome the COVID-19 crisis.
