He requested, "Carefully examine how well the system is operating on the ground and enhance the execution plans."

Currently, Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province is promoting 97 business tasks linked to the special law. 63 tasks have entered the implementation stage, and 34 tasks, including 22 in the 2nd amended law, are in preparation for implementation. Particularly, since the inauguration of the 9th local government, they have been focusing on tasks closely related to residents' daily lives.

Performance reports by sector were also presented during the meeting. In the job sector, 43 companies have moved into the Saemangeum Employment Special Zone, connecting 237 job seekers out of 685 to employment.

In the income sector, the number of visitors to the nighttime tourism development city of Buan Gyeokpo increased by 10% compared to the previous year. In the Agricultural and Livestock Industry Zone, efforts are being made to foster specialized industries such as food and bio-industries, and discussions are ongoing for the removal of the agricultural promotion areas in Namwon and Iksan. An analysis of the improvement in Hanwoo cattle breeding showed an additional income effect of 1.02 million won per head.

In the new industry sector, the Jeonbuk Fintech Support Center has been established to support seven companies, and in the bio sector, 93 companies, including DuChem Bio, have been attracted. In Iksan and Jeongeup, designated as the nation's first Animal Pharmaceutical Free Economic Zone, agreements worth 127.3 billion won were signed with 11 companies.

In the health and safety sector, the Renewable Energy Housing Support Project, which has increased the subsidy rate, is being implemented in 487 locations. The HPV vaccination target has been expanded to boys up to the age of 12, with 3,386 individuals vaccinated, and early detection of 104 patients through support for hepatitis C antibody testing leading to treatment.

Governor Lee emphasized the need to secure national budget. He stated, "To properly utilize the special exceptions recognized by the national government in the special law, active engagement in national budget project exploration and response is necessary." He added, "Beyond individual special cases, proactive planning and exploration of large-scale new projects should be carried out in preparation for the enforcement of the law for future growth drivers."

He further instructed, "All special cases are ultimately means for the happiness of residents, population influx, income growth, and changes in the economic ecosystem," and urged to "enhance execution power to ensure that the system operates properly on the ground."
