[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Son Taeseok] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 3rd that it held the 2020 opening ceremony on the 2nd at the new government building auditorium, attended by about 600 executives and employees.

At the event, awards were presented to groups, individuals, and institutions. Kim Minseok, chairman of the Gyeongnam Cooperative Council, received the Minister of Strategy and Finance Award, and the Gyeongnam Provincial Investment and Trade Division received the Presidential Award on the 56th Trade Day. In addition, Seok Sangok, officer of the Gyeongnam Provincial Budget Office, and Yang Seongim, officer of the Water Quality Management Division, received the Prime Minister's Award as exemplary government officials.

Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyungsoo said in his greeting, "If I were to mention three areas I especially want to focus on this year, they are youth and education (talent development), and the southeastern region," adding, "Let's continue innovation and growth to create changes that residents can feel."

He went on to mention inconveniences in public transportation and the lack of leisure spaces for youth, emphasizing, "Let's always approach administration with the question 'Why?' to solve problems." He also urged thorough implementation of a "resident-centered handover" to prevent any inconvenience to residents due to regular personnel changes and organizational restructuring.

Governor Kim plans to present specific measures regarding these ideas at the New Year's press briefing scheduled for the 8th.
