Seoul plans to provide financial support for cultural events hosted by foreign communities here, the city government said Thursday.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a maximum of 6 million won ($5,200) will be given to foreign communities organizing cultural events, such as food, sports and music festivals, in an aim to actively promote opportunities for both locals and foreign residents to experience and enjoy diverse cultures.
