In Uzbekistan, members of the Korean diaspora and Korean students came together to prepare kimchi for elderly members of the Korean community.
The Uzbek Korean Association, the Korean Embassy in Uzbekistan, and the Arirang Nursing Home hosted a kimchi-making event on October 17. Over 100 people participated, including 30 Korean scholarship students and 20 Korean residents, and they made 500 kilograms of kimchi.
The event aimed to help the next generation of Koreans living in Uzbekistan learn about Korean traditions and strengthen ties with the Korean community. Korean residents taught the students how to make kimchi, passing down cultural knowledge between generations. Ambassador Won Do-yeon said the event demonstrated unity within the Korean diaspora and noted that both presidents of Korea and Uzbekistan expressed interest in the wellbeing of the Korean community during a recent summit.
The kimchi will be served to 39 elderly residents of the Arirang Nursing Home.
