Over 40 foreign diplomats in Korea and journalists from the Seoul Foreign Correspondents’ Club participated in the Jecheon Korean Medicine Bio Fair in the city of Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province, Wednesday. 

Jointly organized by the Jecheon municipal government and the Korean Cultural Ambassadors’ Friendship Association, the familiarization tour provided ambassadors, senior diplomats and correspondents an opportunity to experience the hometown and trading center of traditional Korean medicine since ancient times. 

Jecheon will host the 2017 International Korean Medicine Bio Industry Expo from Sept. 22 to Oct. 10 next year. Brunei Ambassador Dato Mohd Rosli Sabtu, Latvian Ambassador Peteris Vaivars and Nicaraguan Ambassador Edgardo Cuarezma participated with their spouses.
