The six agreements are joint responses to strong decentralization, such as the ▲ Joint response for strong decentralization, such as the expansion of autonomy, ▲ Efforts to provide government support for win-win cooperation between the metropolitan area and local areas, and the risk of extinction of local areas, ▲ Mutual cooperation in fostering urban air transportation (UAM), renewable energy industry, marine water leisure sports industry, ▲ Jeollanam-do eco-friendly agricultural products expand the supply of school meals in Gyeonggi-do, and jointly open and operate a win-win market for excellent agricultural products, ▲ Strengthening exchanges and cooperation to revitalize the tourism industry and supporting the successful hosting of international events, ▲ Promoting mutual cooperation and youth exchanges to promote the love donation system for hometowns

The signing of the agreement is the second win-win agreement signed with the metropolitan government after Chungcheongnam-do Province since Governor Kim Dong-yeon took office in the 8th popular election. It will expand partnerships with the central government and metropolitan local governments to become the "opportunity capital" of Korea and become the center of "more opportunities, more even opportunities, and better opportunities."
