Following the signing of a letter of intent for friendship exchange in June, the meeting became a key opportunity for both cities to establish a long-term cooperative relationship based on mutual understanding.

On September 6, the delegation also participated in the “3rd Korea meets Orschel,” operating a Nam-gu promotional booth.

During the meeting, Nam-gu explained its industrial and cultural characteristics and sought advice on promoting exchanges with Oberursel. Consul General Kim promised active support to ensure smooth progress of future exchange projects.

Mayor Dong-wook Seo emphasized, “This visit and meeting with the Oberursel mayor became an important stepping stone for Nam-gu to advance onto the global stage. Just as we directly communicated with local citizens at the Korea？Oberursel Friendship Festival, we will further expand exchanges between the two cities across various fields.”
