On that day, Governor Jin presented the joint hosting of the 2030 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo with Gyeongnam Province as a major agenda item.

The county delivered its stance that the participation and support of the province are essential for linking the wild ginseng and anti-aging industries with tourism and other industries, and for expanding the expo into a Gyeongnam-wide initiative.

Regarding attracting public institutions, he also explained the conditions and necessity for Hamyang County and requested Gyeongnam Province's cooperation in responding to potential government policies on public institution relocation.

Governor Jin then met with Park Sungkyu, Budget Officer of Gyeongnam Province, to propose budget support for 48 projects slated for conversion to local authority in 2027.

The main projects include 5.8 billion won for the establishment of a public cargo parking lot, 5 billion won for the construction of a Yongchu Valley trail, 6 billion won for large-scale farmland readjustment, 3 billion won for the improvement of small-scale aging water supply facilities, and 600 million won for the creation of the Sangnim Bitdam-gil (Path of Light), among others.

Hamyang County stated that these initiatives are necessary to expand living infrastructure, improve agricultural production environments, and build tourism infrastructure.

However, this visit was at the stage of proposing pending projects and budget support to the province. Whether the projects will be carried out and the scale of support will be determined after future reviews, budget allocations, and relevant administrative procedures by Gyeongnam Province.

Governor Jin said, "I will continue to explain the necessity of these local projects so that they can be implemented, and I will consult with Gyeongnam Province going forward."
