On February 24, Mr. Roh Jae-Heon, Director of Korea East Asia Culture Center, sent a letter to Mr. Wang Chao, President of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA). 

Roh applauded the Chinese government’s efficient, orderly, quick, and effective action in order to control the spread of the outbreak, which was worth learning by countries including South Korea. He said that the government, which shared timely information and continued to carry out public health education, showed its charm of being a responsible major power.

Roh believed that the challenge the outbreak had posed to China's economic and social development would be temporary, and the fundamentals sustaining sound economic growth had not changed. He expressed his confidence in China's economic and social development, being sure that China would win the fight against the epidemic under the leadership of President Xi Jinping and would embrace new opportunities for social development and reform after this severe test.

Roh added that the center had donated 20 million South Korean Won (approximately 115,000 yuan) to Chengdu through Chinese Embassy in South Korea, reaffirming that Korean people would stand firmly with the Chinese people during times of hardship in fighting the virus.
