[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the morning of the 24th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon will visit the National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK) and the United Council of Christian Churches in Korea (UCCK), Korean Protestant federations located at the Korea Christian Hall, in succession. This is his first visit to the Protestant community since taking office.

Mayor Oh will express his gratitude for the cooperation of the Protestant community in actively participating in social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as transitioning to non-face-to-face worship services, and will request continued cooperation. He will also discuss future cooperation plans for city administration aimed at coexistence and unity.

After meeting with Lee Hong-jung, General Secretary of the NCCK, which has the longest history among Korean Protestant federations, Mayor Oh plans to hold talks with the co-presidents of the UCCK, the largest Korean Protestant federation comprising 30 denominations: So Kang-seok, President of the Presbyterian Church (Hapdong), Lee Cheol, Superintendent of the Methodist Church, and Jang Jong-hyun, President of the Presbyterian Church (Baekseok).
