The city emphasized that the second phase of public institution relocation is a key policy for balanced national development, and plans to continue its efforts by actively promoting the region's industrial base and location competitiveness.

In addition, the city intends to further strengthen the joint response system for attracting public institutions by expanding its cooperative networks with the National Assembly, related organizations, economic associations, and universities.

During the event, promotional materials on public institution relocation were distributed, and the fact that Changwon is at the center of national strategic industries such as machinery, defense, and nuclear power was especially highlighted.

The city also emphasized that Changwon is the optimal destination for public institution relocation, thanks to its outstanding industrial infrastructure, research and development base, transportation network, and residential environment, and called for active interest and cooperation from the local business community.

Choi Jaeho, Chairman of the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, stated, "The relocation of public institutions is a core task to simultaneously strengthen local industrial competitiveness and achieve balanced national development. The local business community will take the initiative in spreading the momentum for attracting public institutions to Changwon and work to translate this into concrete outcomes."
