Anyang Mayor Choi Dae-ho delivered a keynote address at a UN-ITU forum.

"At the UN-ITU AI and Citiverse Forum held in Tampere, Finland, I shared Anyang's smart city policy and operational experience with cities around the world," Choi said.

"It was a great honor to introduce Anyang to the world on the UN-ITU stage," he said. "This opportunity was made possible through the support of our citizens and the efforts of our public officials."

He added, "I hope Anyang's experience will serve as a stepping stone for growth alongside more cities, and we will continue working hard to share Anyang's value with the world. Any Way, Anyang!"

The gathering ended on a lighthearted note during the group photo, when everyone was asked to shout "sauna" — drawing broad smiles from Finnish participants and Anyang officials alike.
