Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho Visits Army Seoul Supply Support Group to Expand Military Supplies of Local Agricultural Products

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho visited the Army Seoul Supply Support Group on the 3rd to discuss measures for cooperation including the expansion of military supplies of local agricultural products and regional development.

The Seoul Supply Support Group is a unit-level organization under the First Army Supply Command and serves as a central hub for military supply logistics. It is headquartered in Incheon.

In June, Ganghwa County established a sister relationship with the unit, and the two have been cooperating based on mutual respect and trust to maximize the sharing and utilization of public and military resources.

Last December, Ganghwa County's turnip kimchi was selected as a military supply item and delivered to approximately 1,000 military units across the country. The county also operates Local Food Days to provide high-quality agricultural and marine products produced in the region to military personnel.

Governor Yu Cheon-ho told the soldiers, "All residents of Ganghwa County deeply appreciate the dedication of the armed forces in protecting the nation despite difficult circumstances," and added, "We will continue to demonstrate exemplary cooperation between the private sector, government, and military to strengthen regional security." In a subsequent meeting with Kim Sang-chul, director of the Seoul Supply Support Group, he requested an expansion of Ganghwa island agricultural product supplies.

Director Kim Sang-chul said, "In a difficult situation for the nation due to COVID-19, the military will work to benefit farming communities while contributing to local economic revitalization," and added, "We will fulfill our duty as a unit to be loved and trusted by local residents and contribute to the development of our local community."
