I am pleased to share good news with our residents.

As the final schedule of my overseas business trip, I attended the World-OKTA (World-OKTA, OKTA) General Assembly held in Tokyo last evening.

There were several achievements from the OKTA conference that continued late into the night.

First, we have signed an agreement to host the "27th Global Korean Business Convention" in Suwon this October. Over 1,000 Korean-American entrepreneurs from 142 chapters across 67 countries worldwide will visit Suwon.

This is an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of Gyeonggi Province, the center of Korea's economy and industry, and Suwon, where tradition and cutting-edge innovation blend together. At the same time, numerous export consultations with companies will take place, and it will greatly contribute to revitalizing the local economy.

Additionally, we have signed an agreement to dispatch more than 100 young people from Gyeonggi Province to member companies of OKTA around the world. This will broaden the horizons of our young people and give them the experience of challenging themselves in a wider world.

I have maintained a long relationship with OKTA since my time as President of Ajou University eight years ago, and have shared deep friendship with its members.

Thinking that OKTA members from around the world will become friends of our Gyeonggi Province residents on a clear October autumn day, my heart is already filled with joy.
