A 30-member delegation from the Weinan municipal government, business, and cultural sectors, led by Vice Mayor Liu Li, visited Gumi for three days and two nights starting on the 15th to attend the event.

This commemorative event was an opportunity to look back on the achievements of exchanges between the two cities over the past decade and to explore ways to strengthen cooperation in the future. In addition, the event introduced the overall industries of both cities, including economy, trade, culture, and tourism, and featured traditional performances that are intangible cultural assets of both countries.

In November 2014, Gumi officially established a sister city relationship with Weinan, opening a new chapter of exchange and cooperation based on the shared background of being the hometowns of leaders Park Chunghee of Korea and Xi Jinping of China.

Over the past ten years, the two cities have built strong ties through active exchanges in youth homestay programs, culture, sports, and healthcare. With this 10th anniversary event, it is expected that the cooperative relationship will expand to all industrial sectors, leading to more meaningful and practical collaboration.

Mayor Kim Jangho said, "Since signing the friendship agreement in 2014, Gumi and Weinan have promoted understanding and friendship between citizens through exchanges in various fields. I hope that exchanges across all industries will further expand and that a mutually beneficial, future-oriented partnership will be established."

During their stay in Gumi, the Weinan delegation is scheduled to visit local companies and institutions such as Samsung Electronics, Kumho Technovalley, Gumi Public Health Center, and the birthplace of President Park Chunghee, before returning to China on the 17th.
