In his New Year¡¯s message, he announces scheme to make Gyeongsangbuk-do¡¯s East Coast an outpost of ¡®New North Economy¡¯

26(Sat), Jan, 2019




Gyeongsangbuk-do Gov. Lee Cheol-woo speaks at the Gyeongsangbuk-do CES Benchmarking Forum, designed to attract foreign direct investments, on the sideline of the CES 2019, held in Las Vegas on Jan. 8.



Gyeongsangbuk-do Gov. Lee Cheol-woo said, ¡°New industries will be nurtured by making the most of Gyeongsangbuk-do¡¯s strengths, and (Gyeongsangbuk-do) will spearhead an era of the 4th Industrial Revolution by attracting investments tailored to corporate needs to make Gyeongsangbuk-do¡¯s East Coast an outpost of the ¡®New North Economy.¡¯¡±


The following are experts of a message Gyeongsangbuk-do Gov. Lee delivered in celebration of the New Year.
Thanks to your support, I took office as Gyeongsangbuk-do governor last year and embarked on a journey of change and innovation to make a new future of Gyeongsangbuk-do.


Currently, Korea is in a dangerous situation with bipolarization and a stream of conflicts among districts, strata, generations and sex. With clashes everywhere, worry is mounting over whether society may be sustainable. I pin hope on Gyeongsangbuk-do to overcome the situation. The reason is that our ancestors¡¯ spirits - patriotism and sacrifices - which had overcome numerous national hardships during a 5,000-year history are still streaming in the blood of Gyeongsangbuk-do people.


(Gyeongsangbuk-do) will concentrate its capabilities to flesh out such tasks only Gyeongsangbuk-do can implement and should carry out.


They include ¡°Neighbor Cousin Pilot Village Project,¡± designed to revive the declining farming villages,; ¡°Monthly Paid Youth Farmer Project,¡± to help youth find hope in the farming sector; ¡°Agrofood Distribution Education Promotion Institute,¡± designed to dramatically upgrade the agrofood distribution regime; a youth happiness & marriage mutual aid project designed to relieve youth¡¯s marriage costs; ¡°Gyeongsangbuk-do Culture & Tourism Corp.¡± designed to dramatically ramp up marketing and sales function,; a project to attract officials and their families with Korean companies¡¯ overseas operations as tourists; guides for the elder¡¯s houses to respect the elderly and create jobs; a Gyeongsangbuk-do compulsory education project to give free pre-school childcare to parents; attracting tentatively named ¡°Nuclear Power Research Institute,¡± a state-run research institute to develop future nuclear technologies; and the globalization of the Saemaul Movement, praised as a model to overcome poverty on the earth.


I will relieve low-income earners and self-employed businessmen¡¯s hardships and make more efforts to extend a helping hand to vulnerable people, including the physically handicapped. I will also redouble efforts to enhance the morale of laborers and businessmen.


I will make all-out efforts to realize an economic community, an equivalent to a state, through collaboration and cooperation with Daegu, a member of the same family. In particular, the planned relocation and consolidation of Daegu Airport will allow Gyeongsangbuk-do to make a leap forward.


This year will mark the centennial anniversary of the establishment of Korea¡¯s provisional government, and the centennial anniversary of March 1 Independence Movement. Gyeongsangbuk-do is a patriotic province in which the biggest number of independence fighters were produced.


We have to join forces in inheriting a proud Gyeongsangbuk-do and a proud Korea to our descents, as our ancestors had made sacrifices for the nation.
