The city leader added that the top focus would be to organise exchange visits for students from the universities in the two localities.  Special attention should be paid to boosting the bilateral cooperation in agriculture with a focus on intensive farming and cultivation techniques, as well as the production and supply of breeding animals and plants.

The Vice Chairman took this opportunity to appeal to Ohtawara City to promote the establishment of a friendly and cooperative relationship with his city in various aspects, but especially in culture, as soon as possible.
