Choi Ho-kwon, Yeongdeungpo District Mayor, Signs MOU with Turkish Embassy for 'Traditional Vineyard House Revitalization'

On the morning of the 18th, Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, visited the Embassy of the Republic of T?rkiye in Korea to sign a business agreement for the "Revitalization of the Traditional Vineyard House in Yeouido-dong Sister Neighborhood Park."

The signing ceremony was attended by Mayor Choi, Murat Tamer, Ambassador of T?rkiye, and embassy staff. Considering the decline in visitors to the traditional vineyard house due to aging facilities and other factors, the district reaffirmed cooperation for joint management aimed at revitalizing its operation.

Built in 1995 to promote friendship between the two countries, the traditional vineyard house exhibits about 800 pieces of Turkish folk items donated by Ankara, the capital city of T?rkiye. Under the agreement, the district will be responsible for the maintenance of the building’s interior and exterior facilities, while the embassy will take charge of replacing and managing aged folk items, developing programs for revitalization, and staffing the exhibition hall.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, stated, “T?rkiye, our brotherly nation, sent many troops during the Korean War in 1950 to fight alongside the Republic of Korea in defense of freedom and democracy. Through this agreement, we will do our best to cooperate in maintaining and managing the site so that T?rkiye’s culture and traditions can be more widely known and attract many visitors.”
