“Taking the initiative in unifying public opinion through harmony and exchange in Youngnam and Honam”

The Jeonnam Provincial Assembly (vice-chairperson: Jang Young-in) and Gyeongnam Provincial Assembly (vice-chairperson: Choi Chung-Kyung) signed an agreement on sisterhood relationship on September 8 at the Suncheon Bay International Wetland Center of Suncheon Bay National Garden in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, with around 70 people in attendance including the heads and officers of the Jeonnam and Gyeongnam Provincial Assemblies.

Through this agreement on sisterhood relationship, the Jeonnam and Gyeongnam Provincial Assemblies decided to reinforce the mutual spirit of unity and communal bond through opportunities for harmony, exchange, and meetings of Yeongnam and Honam, promote businesses for cooperative exchanges, and pursue mutual cooperation between the regions of Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do, make mutual efforts for activating the unification movements and unifying public opinion, and host meetings in both regions every year in turns.

According to Executive Vice-chairperson Yoo Ho-yeol, who attended the event for sisterhood relationship, this agreement is a meaningful event that binds the different southern seas with one belt. “This will be an opportunity for advancing national unity and peaceful unification if it expands throughout the country as a good model of unifying public opinion,” he added during his congratulatory address.
