A statue of King Sejong, the inventor of the Korean alphabet, Hanguel, will go up in Uzbekistan's capital as part of a cultural exchange between two local districts.

한국의 문자인 한글을 창제한 세종대왕의 동상이 우즈베키스탄 수도에 두 지역 간 문화교류 일환으로 세워진다.


The office of Seocho Ward in southern Seoul said Thursday it signed a memorandum of understanding with the office of Mirabad district in central Tashkent on promoting ties between the two regions.

서울 남부에 위치한 서초구청은 목요일 타슈켄트 중심부의 미라바드구청과 양 지역 간 유대 증진에 관한 양해각서를 체결했다고 말했다.



In celebration of the agreement, the two districts will each construct a statue of a historical figure from the other country.

이 협정을 기념하기 위해, 두 자치구에선 상대 국가의 위인 동상을 각각 세울 예정이다.



The statue of King Sejong, who reigned from 1418-1450 during the Joseon Dynasty and is one of the most beloved figures in Korean history, will be erected in Mirabad near the South Korean Embassy in Uzbekistan and other Korean businesses and institutions.

한편 조선시대 (재위 1418~1450) 국가를 통치하며 한국 역사상 가장 사랑받는 인물 중 한 명인 세종대왕의 동상이 주 우즈베키스탄 대한민국대사관, 한국 기업 및 기관 인근에 위치한 미라바드에 세워질 예정이다.



Seocho will erect a statue of the 15th century Uzbek poet-politician Alisher Navoiy, who is known for spreading the beauty of the Uzbek language through his literary works.

서초에는 문학 작품을 통해 우즈베크어의 아름다움을 널리 전파한 것으로 잘 알려진 15세기 우즈베키스탄 문학가이자 정치가 알리셰르 나보이의 동상이 건립될 예정이다.



The Seocho Ward office said Uzbek Ambassador to South Korea Vitaly Fen, an ethnic Korean, played a key role in establishing the MOU.

서초구청은 고려인인 주한 우즈베키스탄 비탈리 팬 대사가 MOU를 추진하는 데에 한 몫 했다고 전했다.



The two districts also agreed to push for exchange visits by city delegations and cultural performance groups, among other programs. (Yonhap)


두 자치구는 다양한 프로그램이 있는 가운데, 시 대표단과 문화공연단의 상호 방문을 추진하기로 합의했다.
