National Assembly Speaker to Attend Korea Chamber of Commerce Forum for First Time

Cho Jeong-sik, the newly appointed speaker of South Korea's 22nd National Assembly, is set to make history by attending the 49th Jeju Forum hosted by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry next month. This marks the first time a National Assembly speaker has ever participated in the annual economic forum, which has been held since 1974.

Cho is scheduled to meet with business leaders, including Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Choi Tae-won, regional chamber heads, and entrepreneurs on the evening of July 15. Several key government officials, such as Deputy Prime Minister Koo Yoon-cheol and Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Kim Jeong-kwan, will also be in attendance. Koo is slated to deliver a policy lecture following Choi's opening remarks.

The speaker's unprecedented attendance is expected to provide a platform for the business community to voice concerns on legislative matters, including support for advanced industries and deregulation. The presence of relevant ministers suggests the forum will also serve as an occasion to share the government's economic policy direction for the latter half of the year.

Under the theme 'SUMMER FLOW, Towards the Sea of Growth,' the four-day forum will explore future directions for businesses amidst a rapidly changing industrial landscape, focusing on artificial intelligence, technological innovation, and new entrepreneurship. The daily themes are 'Foundation of Growth,' 'Leaders' Challenge,' 'Opportunities Opened by Technology,' and 'Changes Spreading to Society.'
