Joo Kwangdeok, Mayor of Namyangju City, visited the training site and said, "Thanks to the dedication of seniors participating in job programs, positive perceptions are spreading, and I am grateful for that. Your efforts, carried out with a sense of mission and responsibility, form the foundation of citizens' happiness."

He added, "I hope this training will further strengthen seniors' capacity for social participation and help spread a culture of respect and consideration between generations. I wish you all joyful and healthy activities."
