President Lee to Hold 2nd Mega-Project Meeting Today to Review Sites and Water Supply

President Lee Jae-myung will hold a public-private joint meeting at the Cheong Wa Dae this afternoon (August 10) to review the implementation status of the "three major mega-projects."

A large number of government officials will attend the meeting, including Prime Minister Han Sung-sook, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Koo Yun-cheol, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyung-hoon, Chief of Staff to the President Kang Hoon-sik, Chief Policy Officer Kim Yong-beom, and National Security Office Director Wi Sung-lak.

Key industry and regional figures will also be present, including Samsung Electronics President Kim Yong-kwan and SK Future Growth President Jung Seung-il, alongside the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force—who oversee the Gwangju military airport site where the Honam semiconductor cluster will be established—and the Mayor of Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City.

Following President Lee's opening remarks, discussions are scheduled to cover the power and water supply plans for the semiconductor cluster site, government-level regulatory innovation initiatives, and the implementation plans for the Chungcheong and Yeongnam regional mega-projects.

The Cheong Wa Dae stated, "This meeting is arranged not only to support the swift implementation of mega-projects, but also to discuss ways to spread investment outcomes across all regions and the entire industrial ecosystem."
