¡The countdown is on for the APEC 2025 Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Gyeongju! 🌏
Beijing, the capital of the Chinese mainland, and Seoul, capital of the Republic of Korea, have rocked the sister-city scene since 1993 🎉. Over 30 years later, this bond has powered exciting exchanges in economy, trade, technology and culture.
Back in 2013, the two cities launched the Beijing–Seoul Joint Committee to level up their teamwork across diverse fields. From joint tech summits to cultural fests, their partnership keeps evolving!
This May’s “Hello, Beijing” event in Seoul was a highlight 🤩, bringing street food vibes, art showcases and travel tips straight from Beijing to curious fans in the Republic of Korea. It’s all about sharing heritage and sparking new ideas.
