In particular, the district expects residents to benefit from abundant natural and cultural tourism facilities, such as discounted admission tickets to tourist attractions like Pocheon Art Valley and Hantangang Columnar Jointing Trail.

The signing ceremony held at Pocheon City Hall was attended by about 20 people, including District Mayor Lee Soo-hee, Mayor Baek Young-hyun, and officials from both cities.

District Mayor Lee Soo-hee stated, "I hope that Gangdong-gu and Pocheon-si will visit each other more frequently following this agreement ceremony, and that residents will enjoy each other's excellent cultural and tourism resources. I look forward to Gangdong-gu, which will rise as the center of eastern Seoul, and Pocheon-si, the center of northern Gyeonggi-do, to achieve mutual development in various fields."
