Governor Park stated, "The launch of the Trump administration should not be viewed solely as a crisis for local industries, but rather as an opportunity for Gyeongnam's key industries-such as shipbuilding, nuclear power, defense, and aerospace-to take a significant leap forward."

He also instructed, "If necessary, please consider enacting special legislation to promote the MASGA Project, so that it can serve as a major catalyst for revitalizing the region."

He added, "It is positive that shipbuilding companies, universities, and related organizations are already moving quickly," and stressed, "Now, Gyeongnam must move forward to the stage of practically designing and leading this project."

'MASGA (Make America Shipbuilding Great Again)' is a Korea-U.S. shipbuilding cooperation project worth 150 billion dollars (approximately 208 trillion won), being promoted to rebuild the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
