[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 27th that Governor Lee Cheol-woo held an on-site meeting titled 'Let's Run Again, Gyeongbuk' on the 26th in Gyeongsan City, attended by about 120 people including Mayor Choi Young-jo of Gyeongsan, heads of local institutions and social organizations, young CEOs, and citizens.

Gyeongsan City suffered significant damage to public livelihood and the economy to the extent that it was designated a special disaster area for COVID-19 on March 15, but it overcame difficulties through the dedication of medical staff and the efforts of citizens.

At the meeting led directly by Governor Lee Cheol-woo, participants engaged in active discussions on various ideas to revive provincial administration, including crisis overcoming such as COVID-19 response and quarantine, revitalizing small business owners and local commercial districts, supporting small and medium enterprises and the agricultural sector, promoting tourism, and regional development plans.

Gyeongsangbuk-do decided to actively review and reflect in provincial administration the ideas proposed by young CEOs, such as forming networking for R&D early-stage companies, policy support related to funding and research special zone development for discovering promising technologies for startups, and promotional strategies utilizing entertainers from Daegu and Gyeongbuk (such as Yeongtak and Lee Chan-won).

Governor Lee Cheol-woo said at the meeting, "To overcome the current crisis, it is a time when the public and private sectors alike must stay up all night to come up with new ideas and boldly realize them one by one by proposing them to governors and mayors," adding, "I ask everyone to unite with the mindset that Gyeongbuk must secure even one more national fund and create even one more job."
