Under the agreement, both parties will work together to promote mutual exchange for community solidarity and social contribution projects, as well as jointly discover job creation projects for job seekers.

In particular, Gimhae City will provide 'recruitment support services' to Binggrae, and within this month, will operate the 'Hope Job Bus,' a one-stop employment support program to resolve recruitment and job-seeking challenges, in collaboration with Binggrae.

Binggrae will cooperate by promoting the sale of local specialties such as providing Gimhae Gayatteul rice for meals and purchasing Jinyeong sweet persimmons, supporting and hiring people with disabilities, participating in and sponsoring the Gimhae National Heritage Night Tour and Gaya Culture Festival, creating jobs for vulnerable groups, and supporting marginalized communities.
