Governor Kim Deok-hyun stated, "Although the war in Ukraine and the participation of North Korean troops cast a dark shadow over security and the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and the domestic economy is facing many difficulties due to recession, as the saying Wonhaengijung (遠行以衆) goes, 'If you want to go far, you must go together by pooling strength.' In 2025, the executive branch, Yeoncheon County Council, and about 40,000 residents will unite their efforts and run together toward the goals of 'Yeoncheon County development' and 'achieving a living population of 10 million by 2030.'"
