International Exchanges and Friendship/Sister Cities
1. Activities Aimed at Internationalization

To promote international understanding and cooperation, we have entered into friendship or sister city agreements with several overseas cities and we have been extending our mutual exchange activities in the cultural, economic and sports fields.

We also have implemented a mutual personnel exchange program with our sister cities (Yeosu City and Seogwipo City) in South Korea, with the aim of fostering human resources for international cooperation activities.
