[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Lee Cheol, Chairman of the Economic, Tourism and Culture Committee of the Jeonnam Provincial Council (Democratic Party of Korea, Wando 1), announced on the 26th that he attended the 'Jeonnam Small Business Association Meeting' held at the Gurye Jayeon Dream Park conference room.

At the meeting, Chairman Lee Cheol, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-tae of the Economic, Tourism and Culture Committee, Committee Member Han Sook-kyung, and Park Jung-sun, regional branch head of the Small Business Association, gathered to listen to the management difficulties of small business owners in the province and to seek support measures.

The Small Business Association proposed amendments and enactments of ordinances related to small business owners, establishment of a small business support center, and support for local manager personnel expenses.

In response, a Jeonnam provincial official said, "Since budget is involved, it is difficult to make an immediate decision, but we will review it as much as possible."

Chairman Lee Cheol stated, "I actively empathize with the difficulties and urgency of small business owners," and added, "I will strive to prepare policies and improve treatment for small business owners in the province going forward."

He continued, "This meeting was a meaningful opportunity to hear the voices from the field of small business owners who play a key role in the local economy," and added, "We will continue to communicate and deliberate with the executive branch to ensure that the opinions from the meeting are well reflected in policies."
