South Gyeongsang Province said on the 7th that the 4th Buu l Gyeong policy council will be held in Busan on the afternoon of the 8th, with Park Wan-su, governor of South Gyeongsang, Jeon Jae-soo, mayor of Busan, and Kim Sang-wook, mayor of Ulsan, attending. Busan City also gave notice of the council's schedule that day.

The heads of the three jurisdictions plan to convene at a hotel in Haeundae on the afternoon of the 8th and issue a joint declaration.

The three leaders will review cooperative tasks centered on areas requiring a joint response—industry, transportation, daily life and administration—and discuss joint response plans by identifying projects whose effectiveness can be enhanced if Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang pursue them together.

They also plan to discuss ways to present a united voice in line with the government's balanced development policy and to jointly foster future growth engines for Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang.

The outcome of the meeting will be released as a joint declaration after consultations among the three jurisdictions. The contents of the declaration will be disclosed after the policy council concludes.
