[Asia Economy Reporter La Youngcheol] Kim Jintae's new Gangwon Province administration has finalized its governance policy, encompassing development strategies and a commitment to action.

The vision for the 8th elected term of Gangwon Province is "A New Gangwon! The Era of Special Autonomy!" The three major governance goals to realize this are "Population 2 million," "Regional Gross Domestic Product 100 trillion won," and "A Gangwon Era Fully Connected to the Seoul Metropolitan Area."

The governance vision, "A New Gangwon! The Era of Special Autonomy," which embodies Governor Kim's philosophy and determination, emphasizes significantly improving infrastructure and regional economic conditions to enhance the lives of residents through the completion of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province.

It reflects Governor Kim's firm philosophy and will that all Gangwon residents participate in creating "A New Gangwon, A Free Gangwon, A Great Gangwon."

The governance vision will be implemented through the "three major governance goals."

The goal of "Population 2 million" focuses on innovative regulatory reforms, establishing a global education city, and installing a second government office.

Through this, the plan is to build the foundation for the special self-governing province and greatly strengthen education, culture, welfare, safety, environment, and administrative infrastructure to usher in the era of Gangwon with a population of 2 million.

The goal of "Regional Gross Domestic Product 100 trillion won" is based on fostering future industries such as semiconductors and advancing agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and tourism industries.

The core idea is to develop Gangwon into a new industry hub, invigorate the regional economy by attracting large corporations and public institutions, and revitalize abandoned mining and border areas, thereby creating the era of Gangwon with a regional GDP of 100 trillion won.

The goal of "A Gangwon Era Fully Connected to the Seoul Metropolitan Area" means shortening the physical distance between Gangwon and the metropolitan area by establishing wide-area and main road networks and connecting land, sea, and air routes.

Ultimately, the ambition is to open an era of Gangwon in the metropolitan area with economic and welfare levels equal to those of the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

Governor Kim Jintae stated, "Unlike the usual governance policies segmented into 'vision, goals, and strategies,' we will demonstrate a practical and bold approach by concisely embedding all visions into the three major goals."

The finalized governance policy is scheduled to be posted to the province, cities, counties, and affiliated institutions by mid-July.
