A third emergency relief team is expected to be dispatched to quake-ravaged Türkiye soon to assist with the establishment of a temporary residential complex for displaced victims.
At a session of a joint government-civilian overseas relief council on Wednesday, foreign minister Park Jin expressed hope that the new team's mission to provide a sustainable base will give the displaced the courage to carry on with their daily lives.
The minister said the successful linkage of humanitarian aid and development in a disaster-struck region was only made possible due to the Yoon Suk Yeol government's resolve to become a global leader as well as active cooperation from civic groups and the public.
He also took note of various relief efforts from the private sector, saying the government-civilian partnership will help double the impact of South Korea's support and increase its sustainability.
The third South Korean team will take on a new objective after the two previous relief teams participated in the search for survivors and deliveries of relief items, respectively.
