[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Nam Ki-chan, President of Busan Port Authority (BPA), participated in the 'Stay Strong' campaign to overcome COVID-19 on the 14th.


The Stay Strong campaign is a global relay campaign supporting the overcoming and ending of COVID-19, which was first launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in March.


The relay method involves posting a photo holding a sign with a COVID-19 support message on social networking services (SNS) and nominating the next participant.


President Nam was nominated by Bin Dae-in, President of BNK Busan Bank, and he nominated John M. Elliott, President of Busan New Port Container Terminal (BNCT), Choi Jae-jun, Director of Korea Port Training Institute Busan Training Center, and Choi Jong-yeol, Director of Busan Technopark as the next participants.


BPA has been responding comprehensively from a mid- to long-term perspective to the second wave of COVID-19 and the post-COVID-19 era, and has been promoting various support projects for vulnerable groups in the local community.


They distributed masks to port workers at Busan Port and conducted disinfection in areas within the port where quarantine was weak. In March, they participated in the 'Flower Bucket Challenge' to support flower farms.


Additionally, they have supported socially disadvantaged students in the region who are in the blind spots of online learning by providing smart devices, among other efforts to help vulnerable groups overcome COVID-19.



Nam Ki-chan, President of Busan Port Authority, said, “Even with the prolonged COVID-19 situation, if everyone follows personal hygiene management and daily quarantine rules and works together, we can definitely overcome this.” He added, “We will strive to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within Busan Port.”
