This dialogue was arranged to discuss ways to develop the "Walking Together with the Vulnerable" project promoted by Seoul City, amid the worsening polarization in income and education caused by three years of COVID-19 and the severe damage to vulnerable groups.

The city stated that this dialogue is expected to hear suggestions from Muhammad Yunus, who has devoted efforts to poverty eradication and resolving polarization, regarding policies to realize a Seoul that walks together with the vulnerable, and to discuss ways for mutual cooperation.
