South Korea's Interior Minister Hong Yun-sik (L) and his East Timorese counterpart Dionisio Soares shake hands after signing a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the "Saemaul Movement" on the sidelines of the Global Saemaul Leadership Forum in PyeongChang, 180 kilometers east of Seoul, on Oct. 19, 2016. Initiated by the late President Park Chung-hee in 1970, the movement was a national campaign to develop one of the world's poorest countries into a rich nation from the ruins of the 1950-53 Korean War. Saemaul means "new community" or "new village." (Yonhap) (END)
