[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City is intensifying non-face-to-face marketing to reopen export routes blocked by COVID-19.

Busan City announced that on the 18th, it will hold an "Online Video Consultation Meeting Inviting Buyers from the Kyushu Region of Japan" at the Western Busan Online Export Consultation Center in Mieum-dong, Gangseo-gu, with participation from local companies.

With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic hindering overseas exchange projects including those with Japan, the desire of companies seeking overseas marketing and Busan City's support intentions have aligned.

The consultation meeting will involve 70 local small and medium-sized enterprises from various sectors, including consumer goods such as cosmetics, household items, and seafood, as well as industrial goods like machinery parts and shipbuilding equipment.

Busan City explained that the companies' strong willingness to expand export channels exceeded the initially expected demand.

Busan City plans to match participating companies with Japanese buyers and provide follow-up management. Even after the consultation meeting, continuous support will be provided to increase corporate sales and expand sales channels.

Additionally, Busan City intends to expand the super-regional economic zone from cooperation mainly focused on administrative exchanges between Japanese cities to the entire Kyushu region, including Fukuoka.

Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, said, "The city will actively support private economic cooperation at the city level to help companies with exports."
