On August 20, Gyeongbuk Province and Daegu City held the "Second Public Institution Relocation Strategy Meeting" at the National Assembly, with the participation of National Assembly members from the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region representing the People Power Party.

The event was co-hosted by the Gyeongbuk Province Party (Chairman Kim Hyungdong) and the Daegu City Party (Chairwoman Lee Inseon) of the People Power Party. As the announcement of the second phase of public institution relocations is imminent, the meeting was organized to review the current status and to explore joint response strategies.

Members of the National Assembly, as well as officials from Daegu City and Gyeongbuk Province, gathered in one place for the second public institution relocation meeting organized by the Daegu City Party and Gyeongbuk Provincial Party of the People Power Party.

Following opening remarks by the provincial and city party chairpersons of the People Power Party, Vice Governor for Economic Affairs of Gyeongbuk Province Yang Geumhee, and Deputy Mayor for Administration of Daegu City Kim Jeonggi, the event continued with a discussion and exchange of opinions among National Assembly members and other participants regarding the direction of the second phase of public institution relocations.

Lee Inseon, Chairwoman of the Daegu City Party of the People Power Party, remarked, "This public institution relocation must be carried out fairly, not based on political considerations or regional interests, but according to clear and objective criteria." She further stated, "Daegu and Gyeongbuk have steadily built a foundation for future industries, including future mobility, robotics, AI, semiconductors, and bio, so public institutions that can create synergies with these industries must be brought in."

Meanwhile, based on the outcome of the meeting, participants announced that they would adopt a resolution urging: the rational and fair allocation of institutions in the second phase of relocations; the prompt establishment of clear government criteria and a detailed implementation roadmap; and the customized allocation of institutions linked to the strategic industries of Daegu and Gyeongbuk.
