In his inaugural speech, Chairman Jeong Hyuntaek said, "When companies take the lead in solving various social problems together with members of society, our society can move toward a more sustainable future," adding, "The Mokpo Chamber of Commerce and Industry will take the lead in creating such an atmosphere and encouraging many member companies to participate."


He also emphasized, "As the sense of crisis over local extinction intensifies, local development inevitably becomes more difficult. At times like this, local businesspeople must cooperate with local governments and related organizations to ensure smooth progress of urgent projects such as local SOC, discover new growth engines, and create jobs, while not neglecting efforts to propose policy alternatives."


He continued, "Since the Mokpo Chamber of Commerce and Industry can grow further only when about 700 member companies show active interest and participation, all projects must be centered on the member companies," pledging, "We will actively promote networking among members and work hard to resolve management difficulties faced by member companies."


He added, "The deliberative and executive bodies of the Mokpo Chamber of Commerce and Industry will strive to enhance operational efficiency and solidify the substance of projects based on mutual respect and trust, becoming a reliable pillar of the local economy," promising, "We will create a Mokpo Chamber of Commerce and Industry that impresses member companies, earns trust from the local community, and instills pride in both the deliberative and executive bodies."


Finally, he expressed his feelings, saying, "Having first participated as a member of the Mokpo Chamber of Commerce and Industry 27 years ago, I now stand at the starting point of taking on the important role of the 25th chairman, which is both a new and heavy responsibility," adding, "Recalling the dedication and service of past chairmen who have led local economic development up to the 25th term, I intend to fulfill my duties without dishonoring their achievements and to meet the expectations of local businesspeople."



Meanwhile, during the inauguration and retirement ceremony, a plaque of appreciation was presented to former Chairman Lee Hancheol (Chairman of Taewon Passenger Co., Ltd.) for his hard work during his term and dedication to the development of local commerce and industry.
