Noh Gwan-gyu, Chairman (Mayor of Suncheon), said, “The 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo will transform the city’s fabric into a human-centered space, setting a new milestone in urban planning in Korea and propelling Suncheon as a hub city in the Southern Coast Belt. I hope schools at all levels will utilize the Expo site as a learning venue so that our students, who will lead future generations, can visit and experience it firsthand.”
