On the 29th, sisterhood relationship agreement ceremony at Yeosu-si Office… Promoting win-win development through the construction of an undersea tunnel

Jeonnam Yeosu-si (Mayor Jeong Kimyung) and Gyeongnam Namhae-gun (Governor Jang Chungnam) made a strong sisterly relationship on the 29th.

About 60 people attended the agreement ceremony held at Yeosu City Hall, including Yeosu Mayor Jeong Kimyung, Namhae County Governor Jang Chungnam, Yeosu City Council Chairman Kim Yeongkyu, Namhae County Council Chairman Lim Taeshik, and representatives of social groups and executive officials from both organizations.

This sisterhood relationship is highly meaningful as the first step to lead exchanges and mutual growth in various fields such as living area integration, tourism, culture, and economy after the construction of the Yeosu-Namhae Undersea Tunnel.

Yeosu-si and Namhae-gun have been pushing for a sisterhood relationship for common development since the undersea tunnel was confirmed as a national plan last September.

In particular, since the two regions can be reached in 30 minutes through the undersea tunnel, it is expected to lead the east-west integration through the expansion of the common living area and lead the new growth engine of the entire south coast.

Under the sisterhood agreement, Yeosu-si and Namhae-gun promised to promote common development and prosperity and promote friendship through mutual exchanges and cooperation in various fields such as administration, economy, education, culture, and sports.

In addition, they decided to continue active exchanges in the private sector to develop local specialised industries and revitalise the local economy.

Yeosu Mayor Jeong Kimyung said, “Namhae-gun and Yeosu-si are neighbours who have shared history and life for a long time.” and, "Today’s precious sisterly relationship, I am confident that if “Soaring Namhae-gun, a happy companion” and “the beautiful port of Yeosu, a base city on the south coast” join forces, we can open a shining era of the south coast together."

Governor Namhae Jang Chungnam responded by saying, “Today is a significant day for Yeosu-si and Namhae to start a new relationship. As the distance is getting closer, let’s work together to achieve common prosperity."
