[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] KOTRA announced on the 23rd that it will donate 20.5 million KRW, raised jointly by domestic and overseas employees and labor-management cooperation for flood recovery, to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association.

KOTRA collected donations through voluntary payroll deductions by employees at its Seoul headquarters, 12 regional support offices nationwide, and 84 overseas trade centers in countries around the world. The president, auditor, and executive directors also contributed their returned management evaluation performance bonuses.

Additionally, the in-house volunteer club Left Hands produced 'dehumidifier kits for low-income elderly in the Busan flood-affected areas' and donated them to Korea Help Age.

Kwon Pyung-oh, President of KOTRA, said, “At every difficult time, KOTRA’s domestic and overseas employees step forward to share the suffering of the people. We hope this small contribution helps the flood-affected residents overcome their crisis.”
