The signing ceremony was held via an online video conference, with County Governor Han Jeong-woo and Hanzhong City Mayor, along with officials from both cities, participating.

The county began by introducing a pair of crested ibises in 2008 and signed a letter of intent for friendly exchange with Hanzhong City in November 2009.

County Governor Han Jeong-woo said, “With the signing of this letter of intent, we have once again confirmed our commitment to expanding exchanges between the two cities,” adding, “We will pursue practical exchanges and cooperation in the near future after the COVID-19 situation.”
