The province explained and sought cooperation on pressing tasks such as ▲ the establishment of the Space Aviation Agency ▲ the construction of the South Coast Global Marine Tourism Belt ▲ strengthening the competitiveness of strategic industries including machinery, shipbuilding, and automobiles ▲ and the creation of a Northeast Asia transportation and logistics hub.

They listened to opinions and suggestions from the attending central government officials for the development of Gyeongnam and introduced spring travel destinations within the province by showing a promotional video about Gyeongnam tourism.

The province and cities/counties plan to prepare persuasive arguments and logic for major projects within the province starting from the budget formulation stage with central ministries in April and the Ministry of Economy and Finance in June, aiming to secure national funding and achieve the provincial administration vision.

The Gyeongnam Sejong Office will have provincial city and county officials dispatched to work within the first half of this year.

The dispatched officials are expected to build networks with central ministries, reflect Gyeongnam's major policies in government plans, and serve as an advanced base for securing national budget funds.

Governor Park said, “Gyeongnam once led industrialization and had the economic power second only to the metropolitan area,” adding, “This year, we will work hard with mayors and county governors to restore past glory and promote Gyeongnam’s development.”

He continued, “We will strengthen communication with central government officials to maximize Gyeongnam’s capabilities and support even in small ways so that individuals can grow and demonstrate their abilities.”
