Both local governments agreed to expand exchanges in various fields such as arts, culture, and administration, and to establish a cooperative network for mutual development through the promotion and sale of local specialties and cultural experience exchanges during regional festivals and various events.

In particular, amid discussions on the establishment of Gwangmyeong City's training center in Sinan-gun as a major issue, it was agreed to share Jaeundo (Halmido), which has the Infinite Bridge where the Infinito Museum designed by world-renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta will be built, as an honorary island of Gwangmyeong City.

Meanwhile, Sinan-gun, which shares 24 sister cities and 13 honorary islands, is experiencing a surge of visits without weekends from many sister city social organizations and public officials from Yeongdong, Pyeongtaek, Ongjin, Gyeongsan, Gimhae, Yuseong, Daegu Nam-gu, and other sister cities in spring. They are benchmarking various Sinan-gun policy projects such as the One Island One Garden project, the renewable solar pension that achieved 10 billion won in three years, and the One Island One Museum project.
