Ye Joonghyup, Vice Governor for Administrative Affairs, attended the opening ceremony of the "National Budget Securing Situation Room" held that day. After the ceremony, he discussed strategies for responding to the National Assembly's deliberations with officials from the Budget Division and the Seoul Office.

Vice Governor Ye Joonghyup stated, "Although we have secured a record-high 1.0203 trillion won in next year's government budget proposal, the National Assembly's deliberation stage still remains. Please do your utmost to ensure that the secured budget is preserved and that additional funding is obtained for projects not yet included."

Through the operation of the "National Budget Securing Situation Room," Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province plans to swiftly monitor the progress of deliberations from the standing committee stage, maintain close cooperation with local National Assembly members' offices, and make every effort to secure additional national funding for pending projects not yet included, such as the construction of the Pocheon-Cheorwon Expressway (see reference).

Meanwhile, the National Assembly's deliberation on the government budget proposal is scheduled to begin with a public hearing on November 5, followed by comprehensive policy inquiries, reviews by standing committees and the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts, and is expected to be finalized in early December.
