[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Sang-il, mayor of Yongin, emphasized his commitment to making Yongin a business-friendly city by eliminating unnecessary regulations.

Mayor Lee Sang-il attended the New Year's meeting held on the 2nd at the seminar room in the basement level 1 of the Yongin Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Yeokbuk-dong, Cheoin-gu, and said, "Since taking office, I have met with businesspeople to listen to their difficulties, and efforts to eliminate unnecessary regulations have been recognized by the central government, resulting in Yongin being selected as an excellent institution for regulatory innovation. This year, we will accelerate these efforts. We plan to introduce a business support platform within January to identify regulatory issues and seek prompt solutions."

He continued, "Although the domestic and international economic conditions are not favorable, I believe there is no bad field for a good farmer. I trust the resilience of businesspeople who have led their companies well and achieved good results despite difficult circumstances. Yongin Special City will actively support them so that they can conduct business activities with more ease and create good jobs," he promised.

He also added, "This year's budget focuses on expanding the transportation network. We will do our best to improve road traffic infrastructure so that local businesspeople and related parties can enjoy convenient transportation."

On the same day, 25 member companies of the Yongin Chamber of Commerce and Industry raised 175.2 million won in donations for the year-end and New Year neighbor-helping campaign, 'Love Train Relay,' and handed it over to Mayor Lee Sang-il.
