She presented five key focus areas: ▲ strengthening the association’s representation ▲ expanding global advancement of women-owned businesses ▲ fostering women-specialized technology-based industries ▲ reorganizing support systems for women business development projects ▲ and enhancing win-win cooperation among women-owned businesses.
On this day, the Korea Women Entrepreneurs Association appointed former president Lee Jeong-han as honorary president, presenting him with a plaque and commemorative album to express gratitude for his efforts toward the development of the association and women-owned businesses during his term.
Minister Oh, in her congratulatory remarks, urged, "I hope President Park and the Korea Women Entrepreneurs Association, along with women’s economic organizations, will take the lead in driving new growth and leaps forward."
