The followings are what Mr. Lee said at the luncheon:
“Thanks to hosting the world’s festival, various infrastructures such as rail system, air system and roads have improved a lot. I hope the second success should be achieved though the Expo closed – continued development of the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula.”
“It is very meaningful that the successful hosting of World’s Expo was achieved by a small city of the southern coast, Yeosu. I think it is a process of regional development of Korea.”
Yeony and Suny are also proud all of you since the Expo successfully promoted the Green Development through the ocean to the globe. 🙂
