On the 16th, Gangwon Province announced, "After in-depth review and discussion of a total of 84 tasks discovered and proposed by the province and the Gangwon Research Institute, and considering the appropriateness of regional pledges, we have finalized 38 tasks across six sectors."


The main proposed tasks include ▲ introduction of a basic childcare allowance ▲ creation of a peace and prosperity pilot zone ▲ development of a future advanced industry hub based on the 4th Industrial Revolution ▲ designation of coal mining areas as 'special zones for industrial crisis response' ▲ establishment of a clean smart agriculture and fisheries foundation ▲ expansion of railway and road transportation networks in preparation for the peace and northern era.

Governor Choi Moon-soon stated, "All the presidential pledge tasks we have identified this time are very important and urgent projects to open a new future for Gangwon Province. We will actively ensure that these are reflected in the pledges of presidential candidates from each party and linked to the national agenda of the next government after the election."
