A group of Chinese local government officials is set to travel to Korea this week to discuss enhancing bilateral ties and cooperation, according to Seoul's foreign ministry. The delegation, consisting of division-level officials from Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and other regions, will spend five days in the country, beginning this Monday.
During their stay, they will receive an overview of bilateral relations and tour various industrial and cultural sites, including the Saemangeum national industrial complex. The complex, a large-scale reclamation project on South Korea's west coast, aims to establish an industrial, business, and tourism hub. In November 2025, President Lee Jae Myung and Chinese President Xi Jinping met to explore ways to boost investment in the complex.
This visit is part of the 2026 Korea-China Future-Oriented Exchange Program, initiated in 1999 to facilitate interactions between Chinese local governments and their South Korean counterparts.
