The day before the Nome visit, Heong-joon met with Anchorage Mayor Suzanne LaFrance to sign a Friendship City" agreement with Alaska’s most populous city. He also met with Governor Mike Dunleavy, an interaction Heong-joon described as “very excellent”.
“This visit will be a good opportunity for promoting our cooperation and the working new projects,” Heong-joon said of his interaction with Gov. Dunleavy.
