Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation (PGCEDC) proudly hosted a distinguished delegation from Cheonan City, South Korea, on April 15–16, 2025, strengthening the growing international partnership first initiated during a Prince George’s County delegation visit to Cheonan in September 2024.

The delegation’s itinerary included a warm welcome and formal gift exchanges at the Prince George’s County Building where they met Acting County Executive Tara H. Jackson and County Council Chair Edward P. Burroughs III. The delegation also made site visits to innovation leaders including NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland Discovery District. These visits highlighted the County’s strength in research, smart technology, and economic development.

The Cheonan City delegation included:

  • Kim Seog-pil, Deputy Mayor

  • Song Min-chul, Director of Enterprise Support Division

  • Park Su-mi, International Exchange Team Leader

  • Kim Hyeon-sik, Secretary to the Deputy Mayor

  • Lee Eun-hye, International Exchange Team Member

The visit follows a successful business trade mission where representatives from PGCEDC and local Prince George’s County-based companies engaged with 19 South Korean small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) during the 2024 Cheonan City Dance Festival . The initial engagement fostered robust dialogue on international expansion, export readiness, and collaboration between U.S. and Korean businesses.
