In particular, a temporary secretariat has been set up in the Jindo-gun Public Stadium area, and work has begun on ▲ fostering and supporting disabled sports clubs ▲ developing and distributing disabled life sports programs ▲ hosting and supporting disabled sports competitions ▲ and disabled sports exchanges.

Standing Vice Chairman Kim Heung-sam stated, “We will systematically foster and support the sports activities of about 500 disabled people in the region.”
