[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] “The Social Grand Integration Committee must be operated in accordance with its founding purpose so that it does not become a routine and formal committee.”

On the 13th, Park Wan-su, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, mentioned the operation of the Social Grand Integration Committee while presiding over the meeting of heads of offices and bureaus.

Governor Park emphasized, “The soon-to-be-launched Social Grand Integration Committee should be operated to achieve substantial results, such as discussing social integration measures and solving social problems, and to build solid foundations.”

Gyeongnam Province has been preparing to launch the ‘Gyeongsangnam-do Social Grand Integration Committee’ to promote communication and harmony in provincial administration with the start of the 8th elected term, and announced that the first meeting will be held this month with participation from various sectors of residents.

On this day, Governor Park also brought up President Yoon Seok-yeol’s promise to support the bid for the ‘2030 Busan World Expo’ made at last month’s government emergency economic and livelihood meeting.

“We must attract the economic effects of the Expo to Gyeongnam,” he said, adding, “Since the impact of Gadeokdo New Airport on logistics and tourism is also enormous, prepare systematically at the provincial level.”

Governor Park also instructed to prepare and implement comprehensive measures to enhance agricultural competitiveness for farmers suffering from the rapid rise in raw material costs and the decline in rice prices in the agricultural sector.

He continued, “Although Typhoon Hinnamnor did not cause serious damage to Gyeongnam, improve and supplement the situation management system for more reliable disaster response in the future,” and ordered the establishment of countermeasures such as installing flood barriers in underground facilities including underground parking lots.

Regarding the province’s audit function, he said, “It should not be a means for punishment but should prevent problems in advance and stimulate weak points in administration,” and added, “The province’s audit and performance management functions for shortcomings in provincial administration must operate timely.”

Since last month, Governor Park has been continuing his tour of cities and counties such as Sancheong, Hadong, and Yangsan, saying, “The matters proposed during visits to cities and counties are promises to the residents,” and urged, “Since these promises are directly linked to trust in provincial administration, related departments should carefully manage them.”

Finally, he said, “Although the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases has somewhat decreased recently, there is concern that COVID-19 and influenza may occur simultaneously after autumn,” and added, “Let’s prepare in advance in cooperation with medical institutions.”
