President Tominaga opened the meeting, which included Vice-President Tohiya Ueki and Vice-Dean Takeaki Iwamoto of the Graduate School of Science, thanking Jeonbuk University for its donation to Tohoku University after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. He also noted that Jeonbuk National University was the first in South Korea to sign a university-level academic exchange agreement with Tohoku University, and expressed his delight at the restarting of academic exchanges following the hiatus caused by COVID-19 pandemic.

Likewise, he introduced the South Korean government's regional revitalization and university internationalization '30 Glocal Institutions Initiative' - for which Jeonbuk National University was selected.
