[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 25th that it will sign a business agreement with the Korea Youth Development Association at the Seoul Youth Center on the 26th.

At this business agreement ceremony, Kim Hak-bae, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee, and Heo Jun-young, President of the Korea Youth Development Association, will attend to establish an organic cooperative system to strengthen youth guidance and protection, and cooperate to create a social environment where youth can grow up healthily.

The business agreement between the Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee and the Korea Youth Development Association includes ▲ expanding customized education and support for youth and strengthening youth protection activities such as joint patrols and promotional activities in crime-prone areas ▲ cooperating in developing youth guidance programs reflecting the characteristics of each period and region to ensure practical guidance activities ▲ mutually providing and sharing necessary information to prevent violence inside and outside schools and increasingly sophisticated youth crimes ▲ holding regular meetings (and occasional meetings if necessary) to promote inter-agency exchange and continuously discussing ways to activate cooperation.

Heo Jun-young, President of the Korea Youth Development Association, said, “Youth are our future and hope, so youth protection and development work is the most precious activity. I expect this business agreement to be not a one-time event but an active effort where the two organizations communicate frequently and develop customized programs for youth protection.”
