Yangpyeong County Governor Jeon Jin-seon Invites Cambodian Pursat Province Delegation to Commemorate '51st Yangpyeong Citizens Day'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Yangpyeong County Governor Jeon Jin-seon invited a delegation from Pursat Province, Cambodia on the 10th to commemorate the '51st Yangpyeong Citizens Day' and presented Charm PCs and Honorary Citizen certificates.

The Charm PC project is an initiative that distributes surplus equipment directly to developing countries in accordance with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Notice Designating Recipients of Surplus Property Transfer.'

The county plans to refurbish 33 computers this year to be transported when seasonal workers return home.

At the event, Koy Rithea, Pursat Province Governor, was selected as an Honorary Citizen for actively cooperating in solving agricultural labor shortages through overseas seasonal workers and contributing to county development, and an Honorary Citizen certificate was presented to him.

In December last year, Yangpyeong County signed a cooperative agreement with Pursat Province, Cambodia in the agricultural field regarding the dispatch of overseas seasonal workers. In April this year, 77 Cambodian nationals arrived in Yangpyeong County.

The Cambodian Pursat Province delegation visited Yangpyeong County from the 9th to the 13th on a 3-night, 5-day schedule and attended the Yangpyeong Citizens Day event.

They will experience various aspects of Yangpyeong County by touring the county's major projects including health tours, visits to seasonal workers' job sites, inspections of the health center, and visits to Semiwon and Dumurmuri.

Vice Governor Pursat Province stated, "I am grateful to the Yangpyeong County officials for their warm hospitality, and on behalf of Governor Koy Rithea, I express deep gratitude to Governor Jeon Jin-seon for awarding the Honorary Citizen certificate," adding "I hope that in the future, Pursat Province, Cambodia and Yangpyeong County will achieve deeper cooperation and greater exchange."

In response, County Governor Jeon Jin-seon said, "I hope this visit will further strengthen cooperation between Yangpyeong County and Pursat Province, Cambodia," and "In particular, cooperation in the agricultural sector will not only solve Yangpyeong County's rural labor shortage problem, but will also be an important opportunity for young farmers from Cambodia to contribute to their country's agricultural development based on their experience in Yangpyeong County."
