Gyeonggi-do to Promote 'Basic Income and Clean Valley Restoration' Nationwide Online

[Asia Economy (Uijeongbu) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi-do will promote key projects of the 7th local government administration, such as basic income and clean valley restoration projects, nationwide through online channels.

On the 21st, Gyeonggi-do announced that it will establish and operate an online exhibition hall at the '2020 Korea Balanced Development Expo,' which will be held online and non-face-to-face next month.

The Korea Balanced Development Expo is the largest regional expo in the country held annually by the National Balanced Development Committee. It serves to discuss the vision and policies of national balanced development and to share and communicate achievements in balanced development and regional innovation cases.

This year, in accordance with social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the event will be held online and non-face-to-face. Each local government will set up online exhibition halls to share and promote their region's distinctive policies.

Gyeonggi-do will operate an online pavilion under the theme "Gyeonggi-do, Continuously Innovating." The online pavilion will be organized into three sections: ▲ Peace is the Way, Let's DMZ ▲ Basic Income for People to Live with Dignity in Gyeonggi-do ▲ From Clean Valleys to Everyone's Embrace, Now It's the Sea.

In "Peace is the Way, Let's DMZ," Gyeonggi-do's vision and projects to transform the DMZ, once a symbol of division, into a space of peace and prosperity will be introduced.

Through "Basic Income for People to Live with Dignity in Gyeonggi-do," major basic income policies such as disaster basic income, youth basic income, and rural basic income will be introduced to raise public awareness and build consensus on basic income.

In the "From Clean Valleys to Everyone's Embrace, Now It's the Sea" section, policies aimed at restoring Gyeonggi-do's beautiful valleys and clean seas will be highlighted, focusing on illegal facility maintenance and living SOC projects for visitor convenience.

The province will set up an exhibition hall in the lobby on the first floor of the Northern Government Complex in Uijeongbu until the 24th and will carry out video shooting and other tasks to prepare the online exhibition hall in cooperation with the Balanced Development Expo Secretariat.

Im Soon-taek, Director of Balanced Development at the province, said, "Gyeonggi-do is accelerating innovation to realize the three core values of the 7th local government administration: fairness, peace, and welfare," adding, "In the post-COVID-19 era, we will create an opportunity to widely promote the fair world that Gyeonggi-do will implement through online channels."

The Gyeonggi-do online exhibition hall can be viewed through the online platform (YouTube or website, etc.) established by the Korea Balanced Development Expo next month.
