The visit was arranged to tour major sites in Busan and hear views from the field on regional development. Minister Park visited Pusan National University Hospital, the North Port, and Pusan National University, while Busan Metropolitan City briefed him on the progress of major projects and requested continued support.

In particular, Mayor Chun accompanied Minister Park on his visit to the North Port, emphasizing that the construction of a multi-purpose domed arena is a key project that will help transform the North Port into a hub for maritime activities, culture, and tourism while revitalizing the original city center. He requested the central government's active cooperation and support to ensure the project's smooth implementation.

During the meeting that followed, Mayor Chun held in-depth discussions with Minister Park on ways to address the key issues previously presented and requested support for specific nationally funded projects for next year.

Specifically, he requested the central government's cooperation and support for the multi-purpose domed arena project at the North Port, the construction of Gadeokdo New Airport, the establishment of a next-generation power semiconductor production platform, and the establishment of the National Quantum Innovation Center.

Busan Metropolitan City plans to continue consultations with the Ministry of Planning and Budget and other relevant ministries on the key issues and nationally funded projects discussed during the visit. The city will also respond proactively during the National Assembly's budget review process to ensure that the necessary funding is reflected in the national budget.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo said, “Continued attention and support from the central government are essential to ensure that these key projects are implemented on schedule and lead to tangible improvements in citizens' lives and greater vitality in the regional economy.”

He added, “We will work closely with the central government to address key issues and do our utmost to secure national funding that will help establish Busan as a maritime capital and support the future growth of the southeastern region.”
