On July 7, Speaker of the National Assembly Cho Jung-sik urged Prime Minister Han Seong-sook to carefully oversee the government's 5-3 special project and the Mega Special Zone Act.
During their meeting at the National Assembly, Cho expressed strong support for the government's efforts to promote three major mega projects and rationalize regulations to facilitate an AI transformation. He emphasized, "The National Assembly will actively cooperate to ensure these initiatives progress smoothly."
Cho also explained that the National Assembly is working to establish a 'permanent cooperation system' to connect the voices from the economic sector with legislation and policy.
He added, "To solidify cooperation with the business community, it is necessary to create communication channels between the National Assembly and the government. If the government conveys the requests and challenges from various ministries to the National Assembly, it will enable more efficient legislative support." He further requested that the government pay close attention to the safety and livelihoods of the public.
In response, Prime Minister Han remarked, "I believe that the current implementation of mega projects is a crucial moment for South Korea to become irreplaceable." She stated that she would frequently consult on how the government can support the three major mega projects effectively and emphasized the importance of legislative support for public welfare and industrial safety.
