In return for a visit to the Californian city of Glendale by an investment delegation from Paju last December, Frank Quintero, Mayor of Glendale, visited Paju last Tuesday to discuss cooperative measures. Officials spoke mainly about how to attract investments from DreamWorks Animation.

“A combination of the animation industry with Paju’s high-tech industry will create synergy. We need Glendale’s cooperation to attract DreamWorks Animation’s theme park in Paju,” said Lee In-jae, Mayor of Paju.

“We hope to build a solid relationship with Paju through economic cooperation. We will help you attract the theme park,” said Mayor Quintero.

Yoshi Maruyama, Global Head of Location-Based Entertainment at DreamWorks Animation, visited Paju last month to find an appropriate place for his business.

DreamWorks Animation, a global animation producer of various films including “Shark Tale,” “Madagascar,” and “Kung Fu Panda,” is considering building an amusement park in Korea by using its famous characters.
