[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry) announced that Minister Park Young-sun received a plaque of appreciation on the 15th at the Seoul video conference room from the Emergency Countermeasures Committee for Small Business Owners in Sokcho and Goseong affected by the Goseong wildfire (Chairman Jo Woo-hyun) for promptly supporting the recovery of small business owners affected by the wildfire in Gangwon Province.

Last year, on April 4, the Ministry focused on policy support such as disaster funds to aid recovery from the large-scale wildfire damage that occurred in four areas on the east coast of Gangwon Province (Sokcho, Goseong, Gangneung, Donghae).

Chairman Jo Woo-hyun of the Emergency Committee said, "For small business owners who fell into despair due to the wildfire damage in the Gangwon region last April, we deployed dedicated problem solvers, provided disaster funds, and for the first time distributed public donations to quickly support damage recovery. In particular, the entire 30.5 billion KRW supplementary budget secured in August was supported in the way small business owners wanted, enabling them to quickly return to their livelihoods."

Minister Park said, "The small business owners I met at the wildfire damage sites were very heartbroken, as if all their lifelong efforts had burned down and their lives themselves were scorched," adding, "We will continue to fulfill our responsibilities and roles to provide practical help to small business owners."
