[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] The Jundong-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee of Gangjin-gun (Chairman Yoon Jae-jun) signed a sisterhood agreement with the Sannam-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee of Seowon-gu, Cheongju City (Chairman Jeon Young-soon) on the 30th of last month to contribute to regional development through mutual cooperation.

According to Gangjin-gun on the 2nd, the sisterhood agreement held at the Jundong-myeon Office was conducted on a small scale with 15 participants including Yoon Jae-jun, Chairman of the Jundong-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee, Jeon Young-soon, Chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, Kang Chun-hyuk, Head of Jundong-myeon, Lee Sang-hee, Head of Sannam-dong, and various residents' autonomy committee members, following the relaxation of COVID-19 quarantine measures to 'Social Distancing' Level 1.

On that day, the residents' autonomy committee members and resident representatives from both sides pledged to fulfill their roles as a pillar of the local autonomy era and promised to develop by fostering unique cultures through mutual exchange and cooperation.

Kang Chun-hyuk, Head of Jundong-myeon, said, "Despite the difficult and cautious times due to the spread of COVID-19, we appreciate your visit from Cheongju to Gangjin," and added, "We will strive to promote urban-rural exchange, sports, and cultural tourism activation based on this first meeting."

Yoon Jae-jun, Chairman of the Jundong-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee, stated, "Through this sisterhood agreement, we will work to ensure that the residents' autonomy of both regions can develop together by continuously expanding exchanges with Sannam-dong, Cheongju City."

On that day, the Jundong-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee held the agreement ceremony and spent a harmonious time touring Nam Mireuksa Temple and Saejae-gil Road in Jundong-myeon together with the Sannam-dong sisterhood visiting group.

Following this sisterhood agreement, not only will the exchange and cooperation of residents' autonomy between the two regions be strengthened, but efforts will also be combined to promote and develop sales channels for excellent agricultural and specialty products in Cheongju City, a complex urban-rural area.
