Busan Strengthens Sister City Relations with Barcelona in Joint Declaration On May 21, at 5:15 PM (local time), the City of Busan announced the signing of a 'Joint Declaration for Strengthening Sister City Relations between Busan and Barcelona' at Barcelona City Hall. This event was attended by Park Heong-joon, Mayor of Busan, Jaume Collboni, Mayor of Barcelona, and Jordi Cases Pallarès, Secretary General of the Barcelona Local Government. This joint declaration marks a follow-up action to further strengthen the exchange and cooperation between the two cities, which have been sister cities since 1983, a relationship that has lasted over 40 years. Busan and Barcelona have collaborated in various fields, including human exchanges, port cooperation, and joint projects. Notably, in 2022, the Busan Port Authority opened a local logistics center at the Port of Barcelona, and last year, a media art exhibition themed on the works of world-renowned architect Antoni Gaudí from Barcelona was held in Busan to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the sisterhood. Mayors Park and Collboni agreed to identify and pursue specific and practical cooperation projects through this agreement. The two cities plan to focus on discovering new cooperative projects in emerging fields such as digital innovation, art, and cultural content. They also aim to promote substantial exchanges and cooperation in areas of mutual interest. Barcelona, Spain's second-largest city, is a commercial and cultural hub, growing as a comprehensive port city with both logistics and passenger functions. It is also a world-renowned tourist destination, attracting about 20 million visitors annually. Mayor Park Heong-joon stated, “Since the sisterhood agreement in 1983, the two cities have maintained active exchanges in various fields such as ports, culture, tourism, and human exchanges. I hope this visit to Barcelona will be a meaningful time to newly strengthen cooperation for the future by discovering new growth engine projects together." He added, "We will continue to actively promote practical and specific exchange activities in the fields of ports, economy, tourism, culture, and sports with the City of Barcelona in the future." On this day, the Busan Museum of Art also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Barcelona's cultural institutions, Casa Asia Cultural Foundation and Loop Media Festival Barcelona. The city expects that this MOU will strengthen Busan's capabilities and status as an international cultural center through diversified international exchanges and the establishment of an exchange system. ºÎ»ê½Ã, ¹Ù¸£¼¿·Î³ª½Ã¿Í Àڸŵµ½Ã °ü°è °È °øµ¿¼±¾ð ºÎ»ê½Ã´Â 21ÀÏ ¿ÀÈÄ 5½Ã 15ºÐ(ÇöÁö½Ã°¢) ½ºÆäÀÎ ¹Ù¸£¼¿·Î³ª ½Ãû»ç¿¡¼ ½ºÆäÀÎ ÃÖ´ë Ç׸¸µµ½ÃÀÌÀÚ, ¼¼°èÀûÀÎ °ü±¤¸¶À̽º µµ½Ã ¹Ù¸£¼¿·Î³ª½Ã(ã¼)¿Í ‘ºÎ»ê-¹Ù¸£¼¿·Î³ª Àڸŵµ½Ã °ü°è °È °øµ¿¼±¾ð¹®’À» ü°áÇß´Ù°í ¹àÇû´Ù.
