In the field of culture and arts, we plan to provide various programs and facilities so that local residents can enjoy a rich cultural life, and in the field of education, we plan to expand support policies for students and parents.
Meanwhile, measures are being prepared to improve infrastructure in underdeveloped regions and enhance convenience for residents in order to achieve balanced regional development.
