Yoon: "All Government Agencies Fully Support BIE Inspection Team's Visit Schedule"

President Yoon Gives Instructions at Chief Secretary Meeting

President Yoon Suk-yeol instructed on the 3rd, "All government agencies must make every effort to support the schedule of the BIE inspection team’s visit to Korea," regarding the visit of the International Bureau of Expositions (BIE) inspection team to Korea.

President Yoon made these remarks during a senior secretaries meeting held at the Yongsan Presidential Office that morning, according to Lee Do-woon, spokesperson for the Presidential Office, in a written briefing.

The BIE inspection team, which arrived in Korea the previous day to inspect Busan, the candidate city for the 2030 World Expo, will carry out its official schedule from that day until the 7th, starting with a meeting with Minister Lee Chang-yang of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

They will conduct on-site inspections by visiting the planned site for the Expo at Busan North Port and major landmarks, and meet with government and National Assembly officials, the bid committee, and key figures in the business community to hear about the hosting plans.

The inspection team will prepare an inspection report by next month and disclose it to the 171 BIE member countries at the general assembly at the end of June. This will serve as the basic data for the member countries’ vote scheduled for the end of November.
