As a show of respect and gratitude to the frontline health workers who are tirelessly working to fight COVID-19 and keep the residents of ROK safe, Embassy of India, Seoul, in association with the Seoul Metropolitan Government(SMG) gifted plants to all 25 health centers operating in Seoul City. The evergreen “Indian rubber plant” (인도 고무 나무) was carefully chosen for this purpose, considering its indoor air cleaning qualities and its long lifespan symbolising the Special Strategic Partnership between India and ROK. The plants were delivered to the respective offices on April 28, 2020.
