(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Lim Soon-hyeon = Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young met with South Chungcheong Province Governor Park Soo-hyun at the South Chungcheong Provincial Office on the afternoon of the 18th to discuss regional pending issues.
During the meeting, Minister Choi and Governor Park discussed close cooperation in the tourism sector, such as developing tourism contents highlighting regional characteristics, and ways for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) to support the management of religious heritage in the South Chungcheong region.
Minister Choi told Governor Park, "Culture, arts, content, tourism, and sports policies must be formulated together with local governments," adding, "In particular, the role of South Chungcheong is crucial for the early achievement of 30 million foreign tourists."
In response, Governor Park stated, "We will build a sports and performance-combined dome stadium in the Cheonan-Asan area to serve as a cultural and sports hub in the central region," and added, "We will increase stay-type tourism through regular nighttime performances utilizing the historical resources of the Baekje cultural sphere, including Gongju and Buyeo."
The MCST and South Chungcheong Province agreed to continue regular consultations on the matters discussed during the meeting.
Minister Choi noted, "South Chungcheong is a place where layered resources with distinct textures are piled up, ranging from the history of Baekje to the scenery of the West Coast, and the region's future will vary depending on how those assets are woven together," adding, "We plan to carefully review the plans drawn by South Chungcheong so that they can lead to practical regional vitality."
Prior to his meeting with Governor Park, Minister Choi visited the Gongju National Museum to inspect the Ulchi Exercise situation, which assumes wartime, incidents, or national emergencies. Minister Choi urged on-site officials, "Safely preserving cultural heritage that embodies the national identity is also a pillar of national security," and requested, "Please supplement the artifact evacuation plan tailored to wartime situations through practical, combat-like training."
