At the meeting, more than 30 participants, including Paju Mayor Kim Kyoungil and relevant officials, shared the final basic plan that consolidated the previously discussed directions and contents, and discussed strategies for future implementation.

In addition, the "Imjingang National Garden Basic Plan," which integrates the ecology, security, history, and culture of the DMZ, was presented for the Imjingang area stretching from Imjingak in Paju to Gorangpogoo in Yeoncheon. Along with Paju's unique garden specialization strategy, a blueprint for the creation of the national garden was proposed, aiming for balanced regional development, revitalization of tourism, and coexistence in border areas, as well as step-by-step implementation plans.

Mayor Kim Kyoungil stated, "The Imjingang area has long been unable to realize its potential due to its status as a border region, but now, with regulatory easing, it is facing new opportunities. Based on this final plan, we will thoroughly prepare so that the Imjingang area can become a symbolic national garden project that opens the future for Paju."

He added, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the long-standing sacrifices of border area residents are practically compensated and that regional development benefits are also realized."
