He added, "We will prepare a development strategy aimed at securing Korea's unrivaled top technology and establishing the status of the world's number one next-generation secondary battery nation by 2030."

Regarding the 'K-Semiconductor Strategy' announced last May, he said, "Follow-up measures related to the selection of detailed technologies for national core strategic technologies are steadily progressing."

He also stated, "We will reorganize clinical approval, licensing review, production facilities, and quality control standards to suit the characteristics of software medical devices," and "We will significantly expand the classification and designation of software medical device items from the current 90 to 140."

Deputy Prime Minister Hong said, "We will steadily and intensively promote the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the High-Pressure Gas Safety Control Act announced for legislative notice in July, the preliminary feasibility study application for the mass-production testbed construction project and advanced packaging platform project in the fourth quarter, the groundbreaking of the Yongin semiconductor cluster within this year, and securing the budget for next year's next-generation power semiconductor."
