[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that they will actively promote the establishment of the 'Bu-Ul-Gyeong Metropolitan Special Union,' a special local government that promotes super-metropolitan cooperation projects among metropolitan local governments.

Following the Busan mayoral by-election in April, the establishment of the metropolitan special union is being actively promoted as the heads of local governments agreed to cooperate in creating the Bu-Ul-Gyeong Megacity.

First, Bu-Ul-Gyeong will jointly form and operate the 'Bu-Ul-Gyeong Metropolitan Special Union Joint Promotion Team' to prepare for the establishment of the metropolitan special union.

The joint promotion team will prepare legal and institutional tasks necessary for the establishment of the metropolitan special union, such as discovering metropolitan special union affairs and enacting regulations.

At a meeting regarding the establishment of the metropolitan special union joint promotion team to be held in Ulsan early next month, practical discussions on the overall composition and operation of the joint promotion team are planned.

In particular, contentious issues such as the appointment of the joint promotion team’s deputy head and the location of the office are expected to be reasonably decided based on the results of discussions among Bu-Ul-Gyeong cities and provinces so far.

The joint promotion team aims to launch in the first half of this year and will carry out various tasks such as forming the metropolitan special union council, electing the head of the executive body, determining the size of the council and executive body, selecting metropolitan special union affairs, and deciding the office location. The launch of the metropolitan special union is targeted for the first half of next year.

Meanwhile, since February, Gyeongnam Province has been holding monthly Gyeongnam Support Group meetings to discover union affairs and cooperative tasks for the establishment of the 'Bu-Ul-Gyeong Metropolitan Special Union.'
