Under the agreement, they will cooperate in the fields of economy, cultural tourism, construction & transportation, and environment and will exchange talented human resources. They will also share know-how to attract businesses, universities, and public institutes. “We will cooperate in various ways to become globally renowned cities,” said Mayor Yu.
