[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced on the 13th that the Embassy of China in Korea (Ambassador Xing Haiming) donated 273 Chinese books to Geumcheon-gu.

In August last year, it signed a friendship and exchange cooperation agreement with Dandong City, China, agreeing to actively support private exchanges in various fields such as economy, culture, education, science and technology, and environment, thereby strengthening friendly cooperative relations with China.
