Youngtong 2-dong Strengthens Cultural Exchange with Yeongwang County's Yeomsan-myeon in Jeollanam-do

The Residents' Autonomous Committee of Youngtong 2-dong, Youngtong-gu, Suwon (Chairman Cho Yong-yoon) announced on the 26th that it is expanding urban-rural exchanges with Yeomsan-myeon, Yeongwang County, Jeollanam-do, a sister region partner.

Youngtong 2-dong established a sister relationship with Yeomsan-myeon on September 27 last year to strengthen exchanges of excellent policies and information between urban and rural areas, reinforce cooperation, and create the foundation for mutual prosperity and development between the two regions. The municipality has since maintained continuous exchange activities with Yeomsan-myeon, which is renowned for its solar salt production.

The Residents' Autonomous Committee received an invitation to the 4th Yeongwang Tidal Flat Festival held in Yeomsan-myeon, Yeongwang County. The committee organized a delegation of 11 representatives, including members and heads of relevant organizations in the district, and attended the festival on the 21st to explore ways to revitalize urban-rural exchanges.

Chairman Cho Yong-yoon of the Residents' Autonomous Committee said, "Although Yeomsan-myeon, Yeongwang County is located at a considerable distance, making exchanges somewhat challenging, we will strive to develop exchange cooperation through active cultural exchanges such as performances by community center clubs, and work to establish an exemplary urban-rural exchange model."
