Choi Ho-jung, Chairperson of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, met with Wang Hong, Vice Chairman of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (hereinafter referred to as Beijing CPPCC), on the 30th to discuss exchange and cooperation.

Chairperson Choi said, "Major global cities face common challenges such as climate change, traffic congestion, and urban management," adding, "I hope that through the spirit of 'Songmu Baekyeol (松茂栢悅)', we can cooperate mutually to contribute not only to the development of both cities but also to the progress of both countries."

Wang Hong, Vice Chairman of the Beijing CPPCC, responded, "This is a meeting place of the capitals of two countries," and expressed hope that "through extensive exchanges and communication between the Seoul Metropolitan Council and the Beijing CPPCC, we can create synergy."

Chairperson Choi also urged, "As the saying 'Gandam Sangjo' goes, let us become true friends who share our hearts and work together for mutual development."

The Beijing CPPCC delegation plans to visit the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center, which is promoting community culture restoration through urban agriculture and urban ecosystem restoration projects; Seed Cube Changdong, an economic base-type urban regeneration project in Changdong and Sanggye; and Sindang Nuri Center, a public complex building, to find insights from Seoul's excellent policies.

The Political Consultative Conference is a policy advisory body without legislative or decision-making authority, but its key officials have held important positions in the city government and the People's Congress (equivalent to a council).

The meeting was attended by Vice Chairpersons Lee Jong-hwan and Kim In-je, People Power Party Representative Lee Seong-bae, and Democratic Party Representative Seong Heum-je.
