|September 14, 2025
Korean Consul General Yim Jeanhyuk on Thursday paid a courtesy visit to Mayor Nestor Archival to renew commitment to bilateral cooperation, while the Korea Environmental Professional Engineers Association (KEPEA) is deepening its collaboration on urban development with the city government.
Yim and Archival focused their talks on transportation reform to ease mobility, international assistance to improve local services, and the welfare of South Korean residents in Metro Cebu for community integration and safety.
"I welcomed Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Cebu, Yim Jeanhyuk, during his courtesy visit to my office," Mayor Archival said in a statement.
"We discussed ways to strengthen our bilateral ties and explored possible collaborations, including improving Cebu City's transportation system and potential assistance from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA)," he added.
The consul, for his part, also shared his concern for the safety of more than 5,000 South Korean residents in Metro Cebu. Mayor Archival in turn, assured him of commitment to keeping our city safe and secure for everyone.
Following this mutual reaffirmation of support, the partnership of Cebu City and South Korea for sustainable growth and community safety is strengthened.
