This visit was arranged as part of efforts to strengthen relations with the religious community and to promote cooperation for community development and the enhancement of citizen welfare.

The head monks of each temple welcomed the deputy mayor’s visit and responded, “We will contribute to creating a happy and harmonious local community for all citizens through cooperation between the administration and the religious community.”

Deputy Mayor Jo emphasized, “The religious community has provided citizens with mental stability and a sense of community, playing a central role in the stability and harmony of the local society. We will strengthen cooperation with the religious community to make Changwon an even better city to live in.”

Meanwhile, Changwon Special City supported projects last year such as single-story construction of temples, convenience facilities for visitors, and cultural heritage preservation treatments, and plans to support the construction of monks’ quarters and repair work on Simgeomdang in the New Year.
