Yeong-tong District Maetan-4 dong Welcomes Japanese Sister City Officials

On the 27th, officials from Asahikawa and Fukui, Suwon's sister cities in Japan, visited the Maetan-4 dong Community Service Center, including Ms. Kaneta Midori and one other.

During their visit to the community center, they toured resident convenience facilities including the civil affairs office, the Saemaul Library, a youth study room, and the community center's art exhibition, benchmarking Korea's local governance system.

The dong made concentrated efforts to promote the administrative achievements over the past year, the autonomous activities of the resident autonomy committee, the community center's program operations, the village renaissance projects conducted jointly with residents, and various autonomous projects.

The exchange officials expressed great interest in the Saemaul Library and youth study room, which operate freely unlike in Japan, stating, "We have been deeply impressed by the way administrative institutions always carry out projects together with residents, and we will learn much during our stay in Suwon."

These officials belong to the Administrative Support and International Exchange Team of Suwon City and are currently undergoing administrative training ranging from six months to one year in duration.
