This year, the council will promote six joint projects: a joint direct market for the four counties, a county residents' choral festival, a joint release of fisheries seeds, a project themed on Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a youth-linked Deukryangman-Gangjinman regional sports exchange, and "A Feast of Flavors: Our House's Mountain and Sea Delicacies Cooking Contest."

In particular, the joint direct market, which is being promoted to revitalize exchanges between urban and rural areas, is scheduled to be held in September at the plaza of a large apartment complex in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The Deukryangman-Gangjinman Regional Administrative Council plans to continue efforts to secure sales channels for the region's excellent agricultural and marine products through this direct market event.

Choo Sanghee, Director of Planning and Public Relations at Jangheung County, stated, "Based on the cooperative system that has continued for several years among the four counties, we will also successfully implement the joint projects planned for this year, so that the operation of the Deukryangman-Gangjinman Regional Administrative Council can become a model case of inter-municipal cooperation."

Since its launch in 2016, the Deukryangman-Gangjinman Regional Administrative Council has been promoting a variety of joint projects in various fields to enhance friendship and shared prosperity among neighboring local governments.
