Director Ryu discussed the roles of the public and private sectors for the aerospace industry and the direction of research and development (R&D) investment in the aerospace field, and also toured the satellite manufacturing site.

Director Ryu stated, "With the advent of the New Space era, it is a time when the private sector should lead in fields with high technological and industrial maturity, while the government needs to focus R&D investment selectively on large-scale projects such as future core technology development and space exploration that are difficult for the private sector to undertake."
