Namyangju City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Joo Gwang-deok) announced on the 1st that it will conduct an official visit to Taif City, Saudi Arabia, from the 2nd to the 8th upon invitation.

This visit marks a meaningful step as Namyangju City begins its first exchange with the Middle East region. A public-private joint team, led by Mayor Joo Gwang-deok and composed of businesspeople from the Gyeonggi Eastern Chamber of Commerce and local experts, will participate.

The delegation plans to visit Taif City Hall and major government offices to strengthen friendly relations and discuss ways to expand exchanges across economic and cultural fields. In particular, Namyangju aims to establish a mutual cooperation foundation with Taif City through this visit and to activate practical exchanges.

Additionally, the delegation will inspect the Taif City new town development project, which is being promoted as part of Saudi Arabia’s national economic development plan, ‘Vision 2030.’ This project, valued at approximately 11 billion riyals (about 4.03 trillion KRW), includes the construction of a new international airport, industrial and university cities, and is expected to serve as an important opportunity to explore economic exchange between the two parties.

The city plans to expand its global network by adding the Middle East to its existing international cooperation network with over ten countries in Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Moving forward, through practical cooperation with Taif City, Namyangju intends to achieve results in various fields and strengthen its capabilities as a global city.
