Korean Delegation Headed to Tyler

During the past year, the Korean city of Asan has expressed interest in a Sister Cities partnership with Tyler.   Mayor Kang Hee Bok and members of Asan’s education, industry and city government were hosted by Tyler Sister Cities members in October  2005.  An invitation for Tyler Sister Cities members to travel to Korea in early Spring was extended.  Prior arrangements, however, for the 88-member Yachiyo group in Tyler in March prevented Tyler members from accepting the return visit.

Mayor Kang Hee Box, Asan city administrators and several industry executives will again visit Tyler on October 15-17, 2006, according Tyler Sister Cities President Betty Bower.  Meetings with Tyler city staff, Mayor Joey Seeber,  and East Texas Industrial Development President Tom Mullins, University of Texas at Tyler and Tyler Junior College administrators, and Sister Cities members are being scheduled for the visitors.
