The visiting delegation from Huvsgul, which included eight members such as Member of Parliament Bat-Erdene Bat-Ulzi and Vice Governor Cherenbadam Gansukh, discussed with Siheung officials various ways to expand exchanges of people and resources in fields such as education, tourism, industry, and culture.
This visit was made at the suggestion of the Huvsgul Aimag delegation from Mongolia. Huvsgul Aimag, located in northern Mongolia, is a small city with a population of 130,000 and is home to Huvsgul Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Mongolia. Murun Airport in the aimag is scheduled to be upgraded to an international airport this summer, and a new direct international flight between Cheongju and Murun will be launched as its first route.
On this day, the delegation visited Turtle Island, a major tourist attraction in Siheung, and toured sites including Siheung Wave Park, the world's largest artificial surfing park, Aqua Pet Land, a cluster of ornamental fish facilities, the Turtle Island Marina Scenic Bridge, and the Deep Diving Pool.
Member of Parliament Bat-Erdene Bat-Ulzi stated, "I am pleased to be able to cooperate with Siheung City, which is emerging as an eco-friendly marine leisure city with abundant tourism resources," and added, "I look forward to both cities growing and developing together in various fields."
Siheung Mayor Lim Byung-Taek responded, "Going forward, we will cooperate with Huvsgul in various fields such as culture, tourism, and the economy, and pave the way for sustainable exchanges and joint development."
