On August 27, Chungnam Province announced that Jeon Hyungsik, Vice Governor for Political Affairs, met with Krzysztof Grabowski, Deputy Marshal of Wielkopolska Province, in the external reception room of the provincial government office to discuss ways to expand exchange and cooperation.

Vice Governor Jeon stated, "As we mark the 36th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Poland, both countries are achieving results in areas such as nuclear power and the defense industry. I hope this meeting will serve as an opportunity to further strengthen cooperation in the defense sector."
Meanwhile, on August 28, the Wielkopolska Province delegation is scheduled to visit defense companies in Nonsan, Konyang University, and the Chungnam Provincial Council to explore further avenues for exchange and cooperation.
