Achieving the 'Nakdong River Miracle' in Tourism, Environment, and Industry... Six Basic Local Governments Sign Agreement to Launch the 'Nakdong River Council'

Basic local government heads participating in the Nakdong River Council signed a business agreement on the 6th.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Nakdong River Project, in which six basic local governments embracing the Nakdong River jointly explore connected industries such as tourism, has been launched.

On the morning of the 6th, six basic local governments in the Nakdong River basin held a signing ceremony to launch the 'Nakdong River Council' at the Yangsan Business Center Convention Hall.

These local governments have agreed to first establish a collaborative administrative system.

Attending the agreement from Gyeongnam were Yangsan Mayor Na Dong-yeon and Gimhae Mayor Hong Tae-yong; from Busan were Gangseo District Chief Kim Hyung-chan, Buk District Chief Oh Tae-won, Saha District Chief Lee Gap-jun, and Sasang District Chief Jo Byung-gil.

These local government heads signed the agreement, which mainly includes the Nakdong River basin cultural tourism resource development project and joint problem-solving. Afterwards, they toured Hwangsan Park, a Nakdong River waterfront park in Mulgeum-eup, together.

This council initiative was rapidly realized last month following a proposal by Yangsan Mayor Na Dong-yeon.

Mayor Na proposed mutual cooperation to jointly address cultural, tourism, economic, and environmental issues related to the Nakdong River and connected industries, and the five other local government heads agreed.

The council's launch on the 6th coincided with the 100th day since the inauguration of the 8th local government heads, and the local leaders plan to leverage the event of the 'Nakdong River Council' launch as a stepping stone to consolidate administrative power.

The agreement includes four items: △ formation of a council to promote Nakdong River tourism resource development projects △ promotion of Nakdong River tourism resource projects such as ecological exploration boats and water leisure businesses △ joint consultation on Nakdong River-related issues and river management institutions △ and other joint problem-solving in the basin centered on the Nakdong River.

Yangsan Mayor Na Dong-yeon remarked, “Seeking joint development through collaboration among local governments in the Nakdong River basin can be a new turning point to enhance administrative efficiency.”

He also emphasized, “The council will play a significant role in jointly promoting tourism resource development projects centered on the Nakdong River and resolving various issues faced by local governments in the Nakdong River basin.”
