Finally, to enhance the ethics and integrity awareness of construction industry stakeholders, a special lecture on integrity will be conducted by inviting Shin Min-seop, an expert in integrity education, to foster a culture of integrity at construction sites aimed at preventing poor construction as well as improving unreasonable practices such as bribery, entertainment, and provision of conveniences.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo of Gyeongbuk Province said, "Although the construction industry is facing difficulties, the future of Gyeongbuk's SOC projects is hopeful with the construction of Daegu-Gyeongbuk Airport," and urged, "Just as the construction industry led Korea's industrialization, I ask you to actively strive to create a new Korea with the power of Gyeongbuk construction professionals."
