SHENYANG, China, July 3 Asia Pulse - China's northeastern city of Harbin is set to mark its friendship with South Korea with various festivities and events this week, city officials and Korean-Chinese organizers there said Sunday.

More than 1,500 ethnic Koreans and Chinese in the city are expected to take part in a 1.4-kilometer march later in the day on the eve of the opening of "South Korea Week," the organizers said.

The second South Korea week is to be held from Monday through Friday, with various cultural and athletic events scheduled to take place, they said.

The city also plans to open the site of the assassination of Hirobumi Ito, Japan's first resident-general in Korea, to the public later in the day, highlighting the country's fight against Japan's past expansionism.

Ito was assassinated at Harbin's train station in 1910 by Korean independence fighter Ahn Jung-geun, who was arrested at the site and is believed to have been executed by the Japanese military in China.

A photo exhibition about the late Korean independence fighter is also scheduled to open on Tuesday at a center for Korean arts, according to the organizers.

Japan colonized Korea from 1910 through 1945.
