Jakarta Provincial Government collaborates with Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Government of Republic Korea at Balairung, Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday (5/27).

The cooperation was started by signing the Letter of Intent (Lol) between Jakarta Governor, Pramono Anung with Chungcheongnam-do Governor, Kim Tae Heum.

"I am so glad to agree this cooperation," said Pramono.

The cooperation covers various areas, including exchange of policies and administrative expertise, cultural understanding and exchange, economic and industrial cooperation, exhibitions and promotions, and education and youth cooperation.

Chungcheongnam-do is an inspiring example for Jakarta in accelerating regional development as one of the provinces with the fastest economic growth in the Republic of Korea.
