The meeting was held online at Hapcheon-gun's proposal to revitalize international exchanges that had been interrupted due to COVID-19.
Kim Seong-tae, chairman of the Hapcheon-gun International Exchange Association, delivered Hapcheon-gun specialty products to Mitoyo City as a token of thanks for Mitoyo City's donation during last summer's flood and to commemorate the holding of the informal meeting.
In response, Inada Satoru, chairman of the Mitoyo City International Exchange Association, recalled the 25-year friendship between the two cities, inquired about the well-being of the exchange council members, and proposed the promotion of an online exchange program for middle school students.
Hapcheon-gun and Mitoyo City have maintained a friendly relationship for 25 years since their sister city agreement in 1996. They have actively promoted exchange projects such as the Cherry Blossom Marathon, Daeya Cultural Festival, and youth cultural experience exchanges.
Moon Jun-hee, mayor of Hapcheon-gun, said, “We promised to meet again, but I did not expect it to be this late. Even seeing you through video, it feels like I am in Mitoyo City while being in Korea.”
