Accordingly, Kumho Tire will provide 140 million won (about 120,000 USD) for the association’s operations and organisation of cultural events in two years, starting on April 1.
The sponsorship agreement was inked by representatives of the association, Kumho Tire and the Vietnamese Embassy in the RoK.
