KOICA and Hebron Mayor Discuss Joint Projects

Hebron Mayor Khaled Osaily held talks on 30 March 2012 with Mr. Jonk  Yonk Sun, Middle East and Afghanistan Officer at the Korean Agency for  International Cooperation (KOICA), Mr. Shin Sun Min, Secretary General  of the Korean Youth Association and several of the Association’s  members. The delegation was accompanied by Mr. San Bak Li, KOICA  Representative in Palestine.

 

The visit aimed at discussing means to  enhance cooperation and joint action at the Korean Center built in  Hebron and inaugurated a few months ago.

At the beginning of the  meeting held at Hebron Municipality, Osaily spoke about the 6.5 million  USD Korean-Palestinian Cultural Center which was funded by the Korean  Government through KOICA. The Center includes a comprehensive school and  a youths activity center which is the first of its kind in Palestine.  “The Centre reflects the honorability of the Korean Government and  people. I would like to laud the efforts of all officials who worked to  ensure the success of this project, thus highlighting the exceptional  role played by KOICA in Palestine. This Center shall be a Center for the  Korean people in Palestine. Its success story is an example that should  be multiplied”, he added.

Osaily also spoke about the  possibility of strengthening the Center through hosting Korean trainers  in order to transfer the Korean experience to Palestine, sending  Palestinian trainees to Korea, promoting cultural exchange and  implementing joint projects in Hebron. “This center is a real success  story that reflects active cooperation between Hebron Municipality and  KOICA”, he said. Osaily also touched on technological developments at  the Municipality: “Hebron Municipality is promoting the use of  technology in all its sections with a view to becoming an e-municipality  in the near future. Around 80% of all requirements for a full-fledged  e-municipality have been ensured in order to provide efficient services  and to handle citizens’ formalities and requests in a swift and timely  manner”, he added.

Mr. Jonk Yonk Sun expressed his admiration of  efforts made to activate the Korean Center and lauded relevant  activities by Hebron Municipality. “This is one of our most successful  projects and a success story that we try to copy in other Palestinian  areas. I would like to listen to your views regarding the creation of a  similar center in Jenin, given your rich experience and success in this  field which encourages us to strengthen our joint action. KOICA shall  implement a number of other projects in Hebron in the future through  Hebron Municipality. We shall work hand in hand and consider the  proposals you made with a view to ensuring more success”, he said.

Mr.  Shin Sun Min underlined the outstanding cooperation with Hebron  Municipality witnessed by his organization through the Korean Center  project. “Such success stories motivate us to increase our cooperation  and joint action, to implement additional projects in Hebron and to  continue our cooperation to serve the public good”, he added.

The  delegation had toured the Korean Center where it took part in an  activity targeting children. It also visited other Hebron Municipality  facilities, namely the Child Happiness Center, and got acquainted with  workshops and events targeting Palestinian children and youths.
