Taking this visit as an opportunity, I would also like to visit the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency to benchmark solutions for traffic issues in S?o Paulo State.” She further mentioned, “I have heard about the maritime city project being carried out in Busan, and it would be great if you could provide materials and information.”

Mayor Park said, “Regarding the maritime city project and other areas, Korea has many cases utilizing advanced technologies such as smart systems, and I will provide the necessary materials and information.”

Assemblywoman Zambelli stated, “Brazil maintains 83% clean energy and is an innovative country leading efforts to address climate change and environmental issues. Brazil and Korea share the same goals, and solving climate change and environmental problems is a universal value for humanity, important not only for the prosperity of all humankind but also for cooperation between Asia and Latin America.” She added, “I plan to upload the video of my meeting with Mayor Park Hyung-jun and the promotional video for the 2030 Busan World Expo on my social media accounts to help promote Busan and the 2030 Busan World Expo.”
