He continued, "I hope practical results will be achieved quickly so that residents of both regions can see tangible outcomes," and proposed, "One of our slogans is 'If Gyeonggi Province changes, Korea changes.' I hope that by signing this agreement with Jeollabuk-do today, we can say, 'If Jeollabuk-do and Gyeonggi Province join forces and change together, Korea will change.'"

Governor Kim Kwan-young of Jeonbuk said, "I consider today's agreement very meaningful, and I hope the strengths of Gyeonggi Province and Jeonbuk Province will combine well to become a small motive that can change the entire Republic of Korea." He added, "It is more important how we manage and achieve results after signing the agreement, and this can be an important condition for signing further agreements. I believe today is the starting point. Governor Kim and I will keep in frequent contact and make efforts to ensure the agreements made today bear fruit. I hope this agreement between the two local governments will open a full-fledged local era and become a great start that can also help the future of Korea."
