First, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and local governments agreed to thoroughly prepare for disasters such as heavy snow, cold waves, and fires during the winter season, and to strengthen on-site management in anticipation of crowded situations during the year-end and New Year holidays.

To stabilize the livelihood of ordinary citizens and revitalize the regional economy, active fiscal execution focusing on consumption and investment sectors will be promoted until the end of the year. They also discussed doing their best to stimulate local demand and manage prices.
