(JEJU=Yonhap News) Representatives from peace cities around the world will meet in Jeju to discuss ways to establish a system for cooperation in Jeju.

On May 6, Jeju Province announced it will hold a session on Establishing a system of cooperation among global peace cities at the 13th Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity to be held on June 16.

Peace cities are designated by central or municipal governments and include cities such as Jeju, Korea, Osnabrück, Germany and Nagasaki, Japan.
