Gangwon is considered one of the leading developed localities in RoK.

Da Nang also requested further support in connecting and cooperating in the fields of culture, society, tourism, and labor dispatching.

According to Thi, Da Nang is one of three cities in Vietnam piloting urban government organization and Gangwon province was also granted special autonomous province status by the Korean government in mid-2023.

The two localities can exchange and share experiences in managing and operating the government apparatus. Da Nang and Gangwon have many similarities in geography, favorable natural landscapes, and many advantages in tourism, culture and green economic development.
