Korean Ambassador to China Engages with Community at Korea-China Folk Festival
On the 25th, Ambassador Noh Jae-hun attended the Korea-China Folk Festival held at the Beijing Korean International School, emphasizing the importance of connecting with the Korean community and actively listening to their voices. He stated that one of the key responsibilities of an ambassador is to meet with the expatriates, hear their concerns, and take appropriate action based on their feedback.
Before the event began, Ambassador Noh arrived early to check on safety and readiness. Throughout the festival, he visited various activity booths, engaging with educators, small business owners, entrepreneurs, and parents to gather their perspectives.
During his interactions, Ambassador Noh discussed various issues affecting the community in Beijing, including the ongoing challenges faced by small business owners in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the difficulties in securing Korean educational materials, and the decline in the Korean population in the area. He took the time to listen to the concerns of attendees and share in their experiences.
In a lighthearted moment, Ambassador Noh participated in a traditional game of jegichagi, encouraged by children at the event.
The Korea-China Folk Festival was organized by the Korean Association of Beijing, with support from the Overseas Korean Affairs Office, the Korean Embassy in China, and the Beijing Korean International School. The festival aimed to foster a sense of ethnic identity and pride among Koreans living in China.
Given the venue, the event was designed for elementary and middle school students to learn and experience various folk games. Activities included jegichagi, marble games, tuho, ddakji, yut, rolling hoops, and air games, alongside Korean dishes such as tteokbokki and gimbap.
With the position of the Korean ambassador to China filled after a nine-month vacancy, the community is hopeful for improved relations between Korea and China, as well as better conditions for livelihood and business operations.
