The Malaysian delegation from Kota Kinabalu visited its sister city Yongin on the 118th. The 
delegation met with Mayor Seo Jung Suk, signed the public official exchange agreement and 
discussed measures of exchanges between the two cities. 
Led by Kota Kinabalu Mayor Datuk Iliyas bin Ibrahim, the delegation consisted of 7 public 
officials in the sectors of health care, mechanical engineering, urban landscape, and tourism 
and 3 businessmen. Both cities decided to build a more concrete cooperative relation for their 
mutual benefit. Through such efforts, Kota Kinabalu and Yongin decided to learn about each 
others’ excellent policies by exchanging public officials and to find areas of common interest. 
The delegation also went on a site tour of major facilities in Yongin Administration Town for
