[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 15th, Seo Chunsu, the mayor of Hamyang County, visited the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Economy and Finance to request support for current projects and next year's national budget, actively working to resolve pending issues and secure national funds.

During a meeting with Park Young-beom, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, that morning, Mayor Seo actively proposed support for key livestock sector projects, including ▲the construction of a comprehensive livestock product distribution center ▲the establishment of a smart livestock ICT pilot complex ▲and national budget support for onion agricultural machinery projects.

At the meeting, Mayor Seo emphasized that Hamyang County, located in the southern inland region with a well-connected transportation network, is an optimal site for logistics distribution, and requested active cooperation for the county's development through projects such as the state-of-the-art eco-friendly ‘Comprehensive Livestock Product Distribution Center Construction’ and the ‘Smart Livestock Complex’ with a capacity of 2,000 Korean cattle (Hanwoo).

In the afternoon, he met sequentially with key officials including Choi Sang-dae, Director of the Budget Office at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, explaining the necessity of national budget support amounting to 12 billion KRW for nine projects: four new projects totaling 4.8 billion KRW and five ongoing projects totaling 7.2 billion KRW.

The major projects proposed that day include ▲Phase 2 of the Hamyang Sports Park Development Project ▲Improvement of Public Livestock Manure Treatment Facilities ▲Rural Village Sewage System Maintenance Project in Daebang District, Baekjeon-myeon ▲and the Smart Pipeline Management Infrastructure Construction Project, all key pending projects for Hamyang County.

Mayor Seo stated, “In a situation where the local economy is stagnant and the county’s self-reliance base is weak, support from central government ministries is essential,” adding, “We will continue to strengthen ties with the Ministry of Economy and Finance and central government ministries to ensure that pending projects and future development initiatives are reflected in next year’s national budget.”
