With this agreement, the two organizations plan to establish specific action items and continue to expand cooperation, including: ▲ joint projects to promote anti-corruption and integrity culture ▲ sharing expertise and improving systems ▲ education, research, and information exchange to strengthen integrity and ethical capabilities ▲ and strengthening cooperation with domestic and international anti-corruption networks.

Song Sanggeun, President of Busan Port Authority, stated, "Through this business agreement, we are now able to implement anti-corruption and integrity policies in a more systematic manner based on cooperation with civil society," adding, "We will continue to strengthen transparent and responsible management that the public can truly experience."
