Support of 5,000 Disposable Masks and 20 Electronic Thermometers to Haidian District, Beijing, China

Chungbuk Yeongdong-gun to Send 4,000 Bottles of Mineral Water to Seodaemun-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) announced on the 20th that support for COVID-19 response supplies has continued from its sister cities, Haidian District in Beijing, China, and Yeongdong County in Chungbuk.

Haidian District expressed gratitude for the letter of consolation and quarantine supplies sent by Seodaemun-gu in February, when China was making all-out efforts to respond to COVID-19, and sent 5,000 masks and 20 electronic thermometers last week, saying, "Let us unite and overcome difficulties together."

Yeongdong County also expressed its intention to send a total of 4,000 bottles, 2,000 bottles each of "Illite Hanmogeum Water" and Yeongdong County bottled tap water "Yeongdong Isu," to support its sister city.

The district plans to use disposable masks and electronic thermometers for field civil service employees and participants in public work projects, and to deliver the bottled water to low-income residents through the Seodaemun-gu Social Welfare Council.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, "The support from sister cities has been a great strength to the residents and district office staff, and the warm hearts shared during this difficult time will deepen our mutual friendship."

Earlier, Seodaemun-gu supported Haidian District in China with a letter and 900 masks, and has been carrying out a campaign to "sell agricultural and specialty products together" with domestic sister cities including Yeongdong County.

Since establishing a sister city relationship in 1995, Seodaemun-gu and Haidian District have built friendship through mutual visits of public officials and youth international exchange homestays.

Seodaemun-gu established a sister city relationship with Chungbuk Yeongdong County in 2003, following support for flood recovery and delivery of flood relief supplies, and has maintained active mutual exchanges through participation in Seodaemun-gu’s direct transaction market for holidays and vivid youth exchanges.
