We will continue to communicate and cooperate so that various cultural and industrial facilities owned by the city can be exchanged with Namhae County."

The city plans to use this sister city agreement as an opportunity to establish a foundation for mutual growth between regions by promoting tourism through operating direct sales markets for local specialties and offering discounts on admission fees to tourist attractions for residents of sister cities.
