<First Official Trip, Delivering Major Results>

I will visit the United States and Japan as my first official trip since becoming governor.

I will finalize investment inducement totaling 4.3 trillion won from six companies in the United States and Japan.

To provide more opportunities for young people in Gyeonggi Province, I will also finalize a program sending more than 300 youth to prestigious universities in the United States and over 50 overseas companies.

In particular, in the United States, I plan to further strengthen cooperation in innovative industries for future growth, including semiconductors, advanced mobility, and AI·big data, and to meet with the Governor of Michigan and former U.S. Treasury Secretary to further develop the 'innovation alliance' that I discussed with U.S. Ambassador to Korea Philip Goldberg.

There is something special about this trip.

At my request to the Provincial Assembly Speaker, Vice Speaker Nam Gyeong-soon from the opposition party will also accompany us. Gyeonggi Province and the Provincial Assembly will join forces transcending party lines to solidly support the lives of residents.

Additionally, one representative from the Red Team, who has been in charge of providing candid feedback on provincial affairs and policies since last year, will accompany us. While performing their assigned duties during this overseas trip, they will simultaneously evaluate and critique the overall trip from the Red Team's perspective and present points for improvement.

I will not waste a single moment for provincial affairs and the lives of residents, and I will achieve the planned results.

I will return with good results.
