She continued, "If the three cities cooperate closely by leveraging their respective cultural strengths, they will be able to provide citizens with richer cultural experiences and further enhance the region's cultural competitiveness." She further stated, "Suwon Special Metropolitan City Council will continue to communicate with Osan City Council and Hwaseong Special Metropolitan City Council and make joint efforts so that the 'Cultural Coexistence Special City of King Jeongjo' can lead to substantive cultural cooperation."
