During the 10th National Policy Coordination Meeting, South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok stated that the government's approach for the second phase of relocating public institutions is to minimize the retention of the metropolitan area and avoid dispersive distribution. He stressed the importance of maximizing the relocation's benefits by aligning with specialized industries in designated regions to foster substantial growth in these areas. Kim aims for a structured urban reform designed to diversify growth engines by distributing population, jobs, and capital away from the singular focus of the metropolitan area.

Prime Minister Kim explained that the second relocation is part of a structural reform strategy intended to alleviate the dominance of the metropolitan area, which he referred to as the 'one-pole system.' He indicated that a comprehensive survey of all targeted institutions as well as an investigation of local governments' needs would be conducted to prepare a rational and systematic roadmap for the relocation efforts.

Additionally, Kim reviewed the preparations for major international events scheduled in South Korea, including the 48th World Heritage Committee this summer, the 2027 Seoul World Youth Conference, the 2028 United Nations Ocean Conference, and the G20 Summit. He communicated the need for inter-agency cooperation to ensure that South Korea presents itself effectively on these global stages, highlighting the importance of meticulous preparation for each event to reflect the country’s stature.
