During the meeting, participants mainly discussed measures to strengthen the legal basis for supporting U.S. military returned and transferred areas, customized support policies that reflect local conditions, and ways to establish a cooperation system with the central government and the National Assembly. In particular, they focused on legislative tasks aimed at supplementing the limitations of existing support policies and enhancing their effectiveness.

Based on the opinions derived from this 3rd meeting, Gyeonggi Province plans to further specify the future direction of legislative promotion and prepare phased support measures so that the returned and transferred areas can become a new driving force for regional development.

More than 10 people attended the meeting, including experts such as Vice President So Sungkyu of Daejin University, Vice President for External Affairs Lee Heeun of Pyeongtaek University, as well as the Gyeonggi Province Directors in charge of Planning and Budget and of Military Cooperation, and the heads of relevant departments from Uijeongbu, Dongducheon, and Paju.

Lee Wonjun, Director in charge of Military Cooperation at Gyeonggi Province, said, "Since U.S. military returned and transferred areas have long acted as a constraint on regional development, institutional support that can lead to tangible change is crucial," adding, "We will prepare legislative policies that actively reflect the opinions of each region and submit them to the National Assembly and the central government."
