This agreement was pursued based on the "Ordinance on Exchange and Cooperation between Gumi City Council and Domestic and International Local Councils." It aims to strengthen international solidarity through the development of friendly relations between the two organizations and to promote progress between the two cities through legislative activities.

The main contents of the agreement include: ▲ actively promoting exchange activities based on the principles of equality and reciprocity; ▲ pursuing joint development in various fields such as economy, culture, and local legislation; and ▲ establishing a cooperative system for mutual visits.

The signing ceremony was attended by Chairman Park Gyosang, the Chairman of the Council Operations Committee, and the Secretary General of the Council from the Gumi City Council, while Chairman Luo Zhanji and related officials from the Standing Committee of the Changsha Municipal People's Congress were also present, reaffirming their commitment to exchange and cooperation.

Notably, this agreement holds significant meaning as it is the result of about a year of mutual consultations following the visit of Vice Chairman Wang Weihui and his delegation from the Standing Committee of the Changsha Municipal People's Congress to the Gumi City Council in August 2024, which initiated discussions on exchange.

Chairman Park Gyosang stated, "The signing of the agreement with the Standing Committee of the Changsha Municipal People's Congress marks the first official exchange with an overseas institution promoted by the Gumi City Council. It will serve as an important opportunity for the council to enhance its international standing and seek joint development in various fields together with Changsha. Moving forward, we will further solidify trust and friendship between the two cities through mutual visits and diverse exchanges."
