Kim Minseok, the party leader, will preside over the Supreme Council meeting at the South Chungcheong Provincial Government Office and subsequently proceed with a budget policy consultation with the South Chungcheong Provincial Government. Park Soo-hyun, Governor of South Chungcheong Province, and Cho Cheol-gi, Chairman of the South Chungcheong Provincial Council, among others, are scheduled to attend the consultation.

The main topics of discussion are expected to include effective ways to implement major projects associated with the regional budget allocation of 13.2632 trillion won included in the government’s budget proposal for South Chungcheong Province for next year.

Before these meetings, Kim will also participate in a kickoff event for the party’s “Friday Night Politics Alley Task Force (TF),” which is dedicated to engaging with citizens on site. The TF, led by Assemblyman Park Ji-won, will focus on grassroots engagement activities.

On the same day, the party will also hold a policy consultation meeting at the National Assembly through its Special Committee on Mega Projects and Local Growth. The committee plans to discuss strategies for three major mega projects, locally driven development strategies known as the “Five Axes, Three Special Zones,” and regional growth policies for areas such as northern Gyeonggi and border regions in Gangwon Province.
