Han Seung-soo, the Prime Minister of South Korea, emphasized that the government will turn the regional investment initiative known as the "three mega projects" into reality.

According to Yonhap News on July 3, during a Democratic Party workshop held at the Dragon City Hotel in Seoul, Han stated, "The three mega projects are the foundation for South Korea's future growth and represent a grand blueprint."

He noted that while many have dismissed the figures associated with these projects as unrealistic, he believes the Lee Jae-myung administration will make the impossible possible.

Han described the current moment as a "critical juncture for establishing a new era of balanced national development" and stressed the importance of close communication and cooperation among the ruling party, government, and the National Assembly for the successful implementation of these initiatives.

He added, "The most important virtue is speed," expressing hope that National Assembly leader Han Byung-do will actively work to pass all relevant legislation by the end of the year.

Furthermore, he pledged that the government would actively pursue regulatory reforms and take responsibility for its tasks while providing necessary support without hesitation.
