President Ju Chun-hee of the Busan Nurses' Assistants Association will deliver the petition on behalf of nurses' assistants nationwide, and Mayor Park Hyung-joon will represent Busan City to personally receive their precious wishes.

The Busan Nurses' Assistants Association conducted the signature campaign targeting nurses' assistants nationwide from October last year to March this year for this petition handover.

Not only President Ju Chun-hee but also all affiliated executives actively participated in the signature campaign, sharing the value of the 2030 Busan World Expo as a new growth axis for South Korea, and nurses' assistants responded enthusiastically, gathering 10,100 signatures nationwide from Seoul, Gyeonggi, Jeolla Province, Gangwon Province, Daegu, and other regions.

The collected petition sheets amount to about 500 A4 pages.

The city expects that this petition handover will lead to the nationwide spread of enthusiasm for hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo and encourage voluntary participation from the public in supporting Busan's bid for the 2030 World Expo.

President Ju Chun-hee, who led the signature campaign, said, “We launched the signature campaign in cooperation with the Nurses' Assistants Association organized nationwide to contribute in a small way to bringing the 2030 World Expo to Busan. We hope that hosting the 2030 World Expo, one of the world's top three international events, will help Busan develop further for future generations.”

Mayor Park Hyung-joon stated, “Last week, the onsite inspection team from the International Bureau of Expositions visited Busan and directly experienced the passionate support for the bid from Busan citizens and all of South Korea, repeatedly praising ‘Amazing BUSAN.’ I deeply thank the Busan Nurses' Assistants Association and each of the 10,100 nurses' assistants who participated in the signature campaign for greatly helping to spread this nationwide enthusiasm. I ask everyone to continue cheering loudly until the final announcement of the host city.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, they contributed to preventing the spread of infectious diseases by working at screening clinics and nursing hospitals, managing patients diligently.
