Lee to discuss region-led growth with county, district office heads

President Lee Jae Myung is set to meet with mayors, county and district office heads from across the country on Thursday to discuss cooperation and growth strategies led by regional areas, according to the presidential office. The meeting will take the form of a luncheon at the presidential office, which will be attended by more than 180 people, including newly elected county heads and district office chiefs, as well as government officials such as Prime Minister Han Seong-sook.

This session follows Lee's previous meeting with mayors of major cities and provincial governors the day before, during which he emphasized the importance of balanced development for the country's growth and survival, citing overpopulation in the capital region as a major challenge facing Korea.
