Incheon, officially the Incheon Metropolitan City, is a city located in northwestern South Korea, bordering Seoul and Gyeonggi to the east. About 3 million people live in the city, making it is the country’s third-largest city after Seoul and Busan. The city's growth has been assured in modern times with the development of its port due to its natural advantages as a coastal city and its proximity to the South Korean capital. Incheon has since led the economic development of Korea by opening its port to the outside world, ushering in modernization.

In 2003, the city was designated as Korea's first free economic zone. In 2025, Incheon continues to build on its legacy as a forward-looking, globally connected city, welcoming international visitors with its advanced facilities, vibrant culture, and commitment to sustainable progress. As a premier host city for global events, Incheon has successfully held world-class international conferences, including the 2014 Asian Games, the 2024 UN Public Service Forum, and the 2024 World Aviation Conference. The city will also host the 2025 APEC Senior Officials' Meeting and Finance Ministers' Meeting, further solidifying its status as a key hub for international cooperation and economic development. With its world-class infrastructure, including Incheon International Airport and top-tier convention facilities, Incheon continues to attract major global gatherings, fostering international collaboration and innovation.
