[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 14th that it has established a TF team to strengthen cooperation with overseas local governments through support for the export of 'K-quarantine' and discussed the roles and collaboration plans of each institution.

As South Korea has emerged as a 'model country for responding to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19),' inquiries about Korean-made quarantine supplies have surged from the province's overseas sister and friendly local governments.

Accordingly, the province formed a TF team with export-related organizations to promptly respond to overseas requests and systematically cooperate to promote exports of related companies in the province.

The meeting was attended by Changwon Customs, Gyeongnam Regional Small and Medium Venture Business Administration, Korea International Trade Association Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, Gyeongnam KOTRA Support Group, Gimhae Industrial Promotion Life Convergence Foundation, and Gyeongnam Trade. The session focused on discussing cooperation methods to open export channels for quarantine product manufacturers in the province based on the strengths of each institution.

Lee Do-wan, Director of External Cooperation, said, "Korea has been evaluated as an excellent country in COVID-19 response after being the country with the second highest number of confirmed cases, and love calls are pouring in from around the world. The province will work hard to end the COVID-19 pandemic early at the local government level along with the government's COVID diplomacy. Also, the K-quarantine industry in the post-COVID era can become a new growth engine for exports."

Meanwhile, Gyeongsangnam-do sent letters to 24 overseas local governments in 15 countries with which it has friendly cooperation, delivering a message of solidarity to overcome COVID-19.
