During the meeting, Administrative Vice Mayor Park Yeon-byung stated, "Among Daejeon's sister and friendly cities, Sapporo—with which we established ties in 2010—enjoys the closest friendship and most active exchanges. I hope we will continue to further develop the relationship between our two cities through ongoing exchange and cooperation."

On this day, the Sapporo delegation received briefings on Daejeon City's major municipal administration status, the Ontong Daejeon 2.0 promotion policy, and support for foreign residents, taking time to understand Daejeon's urban development direction and major policies.
