Busan City will participate in the '2024 Korea Local Era Expo' held for three days from the 6th to the 8th at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, to announce its "Vigorous Takeoff as a Global Hub City."

Under the slogan "Opening the Local Era Together, Smiling Korea," the '2024 Korea Local Era Expo' is the largest regional exhibition in Korea where visitors can explore the current status and future of the local era, a key national agenda of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration.

This event will feature various programs including a commemorative ceremony, exhibitions (city and province exhibition halls), conferences, and side events.

Busan City will operate the "Busan Exhibition Hall" under the theme "Vigorous Takeoff of a Global Hub City" to promote the city's vision of "Global Hub City, Busan" nationwide.

In particular, at the venue, a paper airplane cheering message event titled "Global Hub City, Busan" will be held to gather the aspirations of not only Busan citizens but all visitors toward "Busan as a Global Hub City," supporting Busan's leap as a global economic, industrial, educational, and tourism hub city.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, "The Local Era Expo is the largest regional event in Korea aimed at promoting local policies, which are central to the current government since the declaration of the local era, and sharing excellent cases of regional development. Through this event, we will firmly announce the leap of 'Global Hub City, Busan' and showcase Busan's potential."

He added, "National balanced development is crucial because balanced regional growth is the path to a bright future for Korea. Busan will become a new growth hub in the southern region through its vigorous takeoff as a 'Global Hub City,' leading sustainable development for Korea."
