TLDR

  • Two South Korean political candidates, Jung Won-oh of the Democratic Party and Woo Sang-ho, announced a policy agreement aimed at securing exclusive vacation facilities in Gangwon Province for Seoul citizens.
  • The agreement, signed in front of the National Assembly, outlines a plan for Seoul residents to access these dedicated recreational spots in Gangwon.
  • This initiative seeks to foster cooperation between Seoul and Gangwon Province, enhancing mutual benefits for residents of both regions.

As the Democratic Party's candidate for Seoul Mayor, Jung Won-oh, and Gangwon Province Governor candidate Woo Sang-ho, we have joined forces to propose a groundbreaking cooperation plan between Seoul and Gangwon. Our joint declaration for Seoul-Gangwon mutual growth, announced today, is more than just a political agreement; it's a commitment to the citizens of Seoul.

We understand that Gangwon Province is a beloved destination for Seoul residents, offering natural beauty and relaxation. However, access to quality, dedicated facilities has been a long-standing issue. Our policy agreement directly addresses this by securing exclusive vacation spots for Seoul citizens. This initiative will not only provide much-needed recreational opportunities but also strengthen the bond between our two regions.

This collaboration is a testament to our party's dedication to improving the quality of life for Seoul residents. By working together, we can create a sustainable model for inter-regional cooperation that benefits everyone. We believe this plan will be a significant step towards a more prosperous and connected future for both Seoul and Gangwon.

Gangwon Province is where Seoul citizens travel the most.
