During the meeting, Chen Tao, Mayor of Shantou, noted that Shantou and South Korea had enjoyed a long history of profound friendship.

Kang Sang-wook said that South Korea and China had enjoyed strong economic and trade relations for a long period, with frequent exchanges between South Korea and Guangdong Province, as well as close ties between South Korea and Shantou. The Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Guangzhou will carry forward the tradition of friendship between South Korea and Shantou, and further promote exchanges and cooperation between them in areas such as the economy, trade, and culture. Together, South Korea and Shantou will write a new chapter of cooperation.
