[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] On the 14th, Pohang City held a win-win development agreement ceremony for the 'Pohang Love Address Possession Movement' at the Pohang Chamber of Commerce and Industry meeting room.

On this day, the two organizations, including Mayor Lee Kang-deok and Moon Chung-do, chairman of the Pohang Chamber of Commerce and Industry, along with representatives of 17 local business companies, pledged to maintain the current population of 500,000 and recover the population to 510,000, which is the most pressing issue this year.

Chairman Moon, who was inaugurated as the 24th new chairman on the 30th of last month and is the CEO of Ilsin Shipping Co., Ltd., emphasized, "We will actively participate in attracting new growth industry companies such as secondary batteries and bio industries to become a city with many new jobs, prevent the outflow of population within the region, and attract population from other areas."

Mayor Lee Kang-deok responded, "In the long term, we will make efforts not only to attract companies but also to prepare mid- to long-term measures as a livable city so that Pohang can leap forward again as the number one city in Gyeongbuk with good residential conditions."

Meanwhile, Pohang City is expanding the Pohang Love Address Possession Movement into a city-wide citizen movement by providing a moving-in support fund of 300,000 KRW each to people who have had their resident registration in other cities, counties, or districts for more than one year.
