Namyangju Urban Development Corporation Holds Meeting of Five Agency Leaders for 'Eco-friendly Waterfront Tourism Development Project in Northeast Gyeonggi'

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Eom In-yong] Namyangju Urban Development Corporation (CEO Lee Kae-moon) announced on the 19th that it held a meeting of five agencies to discover substantial projects.

The meeting was held in accordance with the 'Northeast Gyeonggi Eco-friendly Waterfront Tourism Development Project Promotion and Mutual Business Cooperation Agreement' signed in August of last year by six corporations and organizations in Northeast Gyeonggi (Namyangju, Gapyeong, Gwangju, Hanam, Guri, and Yangpyeong).

The participating agency leaders agreed to actively implement key tasks including △suggestions for regulatory improvements such as the relocation of water intake sources in the upper Han River (Han River and Bukhan River) △support for regional-based cooperative city and county projects △strengthening of facility linkage and various disaster response measures.

The agency leaders who attended the meeting stated, "It is meaningful that a system has been established where we can jointly discuss and cooperate on tasks that are difficult to resolve alone, such as the promotion of the Yangpyeong Semiwon National Garden project," and added, "Since we have continued substantial efforts following the agreement, including signature campaigns for water source regulatory improvements and joint submission of proposals for selection of representative projects for 'Greater Development of North Gyeonggi 2040,' we hope to continue win-win support through close cooperation this year as well."

CEO Lee Kae-moon stated, "On December 23 of last year, six local governments in Northeast Gyeonggi formally requested policy cooperation and support from the Gyeonggi Province government to create 'eco-friendly tourism hubs centered on waterfront areas,'" and emphasized, "We hope this meeting will serve as an important turning point for discovering substantial collaborative projects with local governments at the level of local public enterprises, visualizing regional development, and simultaneously providing citizens with clean water resources."
