[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Park Wansu, Governor-elect of Gyeongnam Province, and the "Start Strong" transition team are focusing on preparing for the launch of the 8th local government by reviewing election pledge implementation plans and discovering new policies.

The transition team plans to finalize the establishment of the provincial administration vision and goals, as well as the selection of tasks to be pursued in the 8th local government, within this month.

On the 9th, they established provincial administrative tasks by division and met with economic and industrial stakeholders such as the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Gyeongnam Employers Federation, and the Gyeongnam Venture Business Association to exchange opinions on related policies.

During the previous weekend, the transition team held a full meeting to share the progress of tasks by division and discuss the establishment of provincial administrative tasks.

The transition team stated that since its launch, it has held about 40 face-to-face meetings within a week with representatives from various private organizations and professional groups in fields such as industrial economy and cultural welfare.

In a meeting with the transition team, Gu Jacheon, Chairman of the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said, “Please work on deregulation so that companies can create many jobs,” and added, “Job policies considering the cultural environment are necessary because young people stay in the region only if there are recreational activities.”

The Gyeongnam branch of the Korea Women Entrepreneurs Association requested the mandatory public purchase of products from women-owned companies by public institutions, and the Gyeongnam Venture Business Association requested a comprehensive venture business support building equipped with all facilities such as recreational spaces, research institutes, companies, and dormitories in one building.

The Gyeongnam Federation of Small and Medium Business Convergence asked to lower the financial support thresholds such as bank credit guarantees, and the Innobiz Association suggested reflecting the opinions of businesspeople when budgeting for small and medium enterprise support.

Team leader Jeong Sisik said, “The support and backing of the residents are essential for the smooth promotion of the 8th local government,” adding, “Provincial administrative tasks must be selected based on what residents need and must be promises that can definitely be kept.”

The transition team stated, “We are giving up weekends and focusing on establishing provincial administrative tasks for the residents,” and added, “We will meet with economic figures to listen to current issues and incorporate the vivid voices from the field into the provincial administrative tasks.”
