On August 16, the KREI signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for regional coexistence and joint development with Chonnam National University and Naju City at the Chonnam National University main campus.

Through this MOU, they will collaborate on joint development based on the values of regional coexistence and in areas of mutual interest.

"It is meaningful to sign this MOU at a time when the institute is actively pursuing ESG management," KREI president Du-bong Han said, "KREI will use its expertise to promote the development of local agriculture and maintain continuous interest in making it a good example for young people to return to the region."
