[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City in Gyeongnam announced on the 3rd that the joint projects promoted together with Sacheon City for the mutual development of Jinju-Sacheon since 2019 are progressing smoothly.

Starting with the 7th local government term, Jinju City and Sacheon City, as a single living zone, held several director-level meetings and agreed to promote joint projects such as establishing a metropolitan transportation network, opening metropolitan bicycle roads, mutual cooperation in festival tourism exchanges, and joint promotion of public health center projects through mass media.

Since then, a metropolitan transfer discount system between Jinju and Sacheon has been introduced and implemented since November last year, and as part of the joint promotion of public health center projects through mass media, promotional materials for the Dementia Safety Center operation have been jointly produced and are broadcast about 60 times a day on the TV in the waiting room of the Sacheon Cable Car.

The metropolitan bicycle road construction project for the 6km section connecting Sacheon-eup and Jeongchon-myeon in Jinju (4km in Sacheon, 2km in Jinju) and the Jinju-Sacheon metropolitan bus information system construction for the 34km intercity bus direct and express routes between Jinju and Sacheon will start construction this year and are planned to be completed within the year. Through meetings of working-level officials between the two cities, new projects will be discovered and the partnership relationship will be maintained.

A city official said, “Jinju City and Sacheon City, the two pillars of development in western Gyeongnam, will continue to make efforts to become a model case of mutual cooperation between local governments through close cooperation.”
