[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Jung Jun-sung] On the 4th, the legislative chairs of Suwon, Osan, and Hwaseong councils convened together to discuss cultural cooperation measures.

On this day, Suwon Iksansi Council Chair Kim Mi-kyung, Osan City Council Chair Kim Jong-wook, and Hwaseong Iksansi Council Chair Lee Gye-cheol held lunch together and discussed the matter.

This meeting was arranged to explore directions for cooperation as the three cities, which share King Jeongjo's spirit of caring for the people and his reform spirit, advance as a single cultural community based on historical and cultural solidarity.

The attendees reached a consensus that although Suwon, Osan, and Hwaseong have different administrative divisions, they are cities that share historical roots and cultural values related to King Jeongjo.

Additionally, they exchanged views on the necessity of utilizing these values as cultural assets for the coexistence and joint development of the three cities.

In particular, they decided to jointly develop historical and cultural content centered on King Jeongjo and to explore cultural cooperation projects that citizens can experience across various fields, including cultural events, festivals, tourism, and education, while linking the cultural resources and characteristics of each city.

Meanwhile, Senior Secretary Seong Gil-yong from National Assemblyman Cha Ji-ho's office also participated in the meeting.

Council Chair Kim Mi-kyung, who led the meeting, said, "Suwon, Osan, and Hwaseong are cities where the spirit of caring for the people and the footsteps of reform of King Jeongjo live and breathe, and they are connected by one history and culture beyond administrative divisions." She added, "If the three cities cooperate closely while leveraging their respective cultural strengths, we will be able to provide citizens with richer cultural experiences and further enhance the cultural competitiveness of the region." She further stated, "The Suwon Iksansi Council will continue to communicate with the Osan City Council and Hwaseong Iksansi Council to ensure that the 'Cultural Coexistence Jeongjo Special City' leads to substantive cultural cooperation."
