"In the new year, I will devote all my energy to sprinting and soaring."

On the afternoon of the 5th, Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, said this at the 2024 Changwon New Year's Meeting held at the Changwon Convention Center (CECO).

Mayor Hong stated, "This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Changwon National Industrial Complex, which will be reborn as a new growth engine for Changwon. We will focus more on attracting a medical school, a long-standing local project, and creating a city where young talents want to stay."

"I also pledge to carefully attend to welfare, culture and arts, and safety areas that are connected to the lives of local residents."
