Industry Minister Reviews 392 Trillion Won Chungcheong Investment: "Immediate Action on Business Hurdles"

Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Kim Jeong-gwan presided over the 4th meeting of the Public-Private Joint Task Force (TF) for the Chungcheong Advanced Strategic Industry Great Leap at the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation in Jongno-gu, Seoul, today (15th) to review the implementation status of investments.

With representatives from Chungcheong region mega-project investment companies, Chungcheong local governments, and relevant ministries in attendance, companies shared their investment progress and raised difficulties and suggestions regarding permits, approvals, and infrastructure such as electricity and water.

The Chungcheong local governments explained the progress and future plans for permits and approvals by company, and tasks requiring consultation among multiple agencies will be resolved centering around the TF with the joint participation of relevant ministries.

The Chungcheong TF is an organization launched to support the implementation of the 392 trillion won mega-project investment announced at the government's "Chungcheong Region Advanced Industry Development Vision National Reporting Meeting" in July.

Minister Kim said, "We will immediately respond to difficulties arising in business fields and, if necessary, directly consult with the relevant ministers to find solutions," adding, "We will see it through to the end so that the Chungcheong mega-project becomes a successful model for balanced development under the five-pole, three-special-zone framework."
