Chungcheongnam-do Province and Chinese local governments have arranged a meeting to explore practical cooperation measures, including strengthening administrative exchanges in the environmental sector.

The province announced that a delegation, led by Kim Young-myung, the Director-General of the Provincial Environment and Forestry Bureau, and composed of provincial, corporate, and association officials, will hold environmental administrative exchange meetings with China's Shandong Province and Jiangsu Province from the 26th to the 30th.

These exchange meetings aim to discuss joint responses to the climate crisis and strengthen environmental cooperation. They also seek to promote mutually sustainable growth by establishing private-sector exchange channels through benchmarking environmental infrastructure and businesses.

On the first day, the province signed a "Joint Agreement on Environmental Protection Exchange and Cooperation" with Shandong Province. They agreed to establish a specialized cooperation system for ecological environment preservation, including climate change response and air pollution reduction, in the future.

This achievement is based on continuous communication and mutual trust since the first environmental administrative exchange in 2023. Both local governments plan to resolve practical environmental issues by jointly developing policies and promoting cooperative projects.

On the second day, the delegation will attend the International Friendly City Cooperation Development Conference to engage in customized business meetings and examine technology trends in related fields. On the third day, they will visit environmental infrastructure facilities and then move to Jiangsu Province.

With Jiangsu Province, Chungcheongnam-do has maintained a global partnership for joint responses to environmental issues, holding environmental administrative exchange meetings once in the first half and once in the second half of each year, in accordance with the environmental administrative exchange agreement signed in 2004.
