The leaflets were first handed out at the Incheon International Airport last Friday, welcoming guests for the Rotary’s 107th annual international convention, which kicked off Sunday and will continue until June 1 at the Kintex Convention Center in in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province.

The large-scale global convention is expected to attract some 25,000 foreign nationals from more than 160 countries, making it the most multicultural nonprofit gathering in Korea.

The leaflets are currently available in 11 languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, Russian, Vietnamese and Arabic.
