During the meeting, the status of the Korea-China Urban Development Alliance's activities in 2020 was presented, and each city proposed agendas to discuss the main framework of the alliance's plans for next year.



County Governor Kim Soon-ho said, “I am very pleased that we could meet even through a video conference, and I believe this occasion has become an opportunity to more actively exchange human and material resources possessed by each city.” He added, “I hope that through the agendas discussed today, the Korea-China Urban Development Alliance will operate more closely and greatly contribute to each other's development.”
