Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced it will provide humanitarian aid amounting to $100,000 (approximately 150 million Korean Won) to support the swift recovery of areas severely affected by the recent powerful earthquake near Mandalay in central Myanmar.
Busan City has maintained a strong sister-city relationship with Yangon, Myanmar, for many years.
This assistance aims to reinforce humanitarian cooperation further between the two cities.
The city has actively provided humanitarian support in response to international disasters, including wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles (LA), USA earlier this year and earthquake recovery efforts in Japan last year.
Busan City plans to continue its active international humanitarian aid efforts, further strengthening solidarity with the global community to assist nations and regions suffering from disasters.
Mayor Park Heong-joon stated,
“We extend our deepest condolences to the people of Myanmar affected by this natural disaster. We sincerely hope that our assistance contributes effectively to the swift recovery and restoration of the impacted areas.”
