Hwasun County in South Jeolla Province announced on March 20 that it received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award (Excellence Award) at the 13th Multicultural Policy Awards Ceremony held at the Korea Press Center on March 19.

The Multicultural Policy Awards recognize organizations, groups, and individuals who have led multicultural policies and contributed to their development, presenting awards in six categories including the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award, the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award, and the President of Segye Ilbo Award.

Hwasun County was highly praised for its efforts to support the stable settlement of multicultural families and promote community integration through a variety of policies. In particular, it was recognized for its outstanding achievements in customized support projects for multicultural families, community-linked programs, and the operation of integrated services centered around the Family Center.

Currently, Hwasun County has hired five fixed-term public officials who are marriage immigrant women from Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Japan, and Cambodia. This enables the county to closely understand the living conditions of multicultural families and provide tailored services such as welfare information, job placement, and hospital accompaniment.

In addition, Hwasun County provides practical support for seasonal workers from their home countries, including interpretation support, counseling for difficulties, and accompaniment when using financial institutions. Furthermore, the county contributes to regional promotion through interpretation and translation work in initiatives such as the export business agreement for Hwasun's agricultural specialties with Japanese companies, the orchid industry agreement with Qiaoqiao District in Shaoxing City, China, and the Hwasun Orchid Premium Expo.

Meanwhile, Hwasun County plans to continuously expand its policies to further enhance the quality of life for multicultural families and promote community integration in the future.
