[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the afternoon of the 26th, the People Power Party held a budget policy meeting at Daejeon City Hall to listen to the current issues of the Chungcheong region's metropolitan local governments. Attendees included Floor Leader Joo Ho-young, Policy Committee Chairman Lee Jong-bae, People Power Party budget and accounts special committee whip Representative Chu Kyung-ho, and Daejeon City Party Chairman Jang Dong-hyuk.

Floor Leader Joo said, "As the saying goes, all answers lie in the field. Ahead of the preparation of next year's budget starting in November, we came to directly hear what the key projects of the metropolitan local governments are and what needs to be taken care of in the National Assembly. We came with the purpose of helping, so please tell us anything, and we will do our best."

Policy Committee Chairman Lee stated, "We will take care of projects that are essential to the region and reflect them in the National Assembly's budget review, and we will also pay attention to legislation and incorporate it into policies. We are prepared to actively support regional development beyond party lines," he emphasized.

Representative Chu said, "After the conclusion of the national audit, the review of bills, especially the government budget review important to the regions, will begin in earnest. We will do our best to listen to the issues from all regions nationwide and manage the budget well."

Chairman Jang said, "Recently, the government announced that it would relocate the Ministry of SMEs and Startups to Sejong as if fleeing in the dead of night. This is a frustrating matter that goes against regional balanced development. We ask the central party to pay close attention to this issue."
