Yoo Jeongbok, the 8th elected mayor of Incheon, is now currently on his first trip overseas since taking office. In his first destination, Singapore, he started his work to materialize the plan to make Incheon one of the ultra-top-tier cities of the world.

Incheon announced that Mr. Yoo hosted a meeting with South Korean business persons in Singapore on September 16th.

The meeting was attended by representatives from Posco International, Korean Air, KDB, and Shinhan Bank, as well as Professor Jangseop Shin of the National University of Singapore.

During the meeting, the attendants shared their insights on how Singapore became home to a number of multinational corporations, outstanding policies of the government that are related to the roles of Singapore as a financial hub of the world, and, especially, the trends of multinationals with regard to the return of Hong Kong to China.

After the meeting, Mr. Yoo visited the Singapore Branch of KOTRA to be briefed on the current status of trade in the country. Then, Mr. Yoo visited the URA office of Singapore, Clark Quay, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, etc., concerning his campaign pledge on the Jemulpo Renaissance Project.

The world’s ultra-top-tier city that Incheon seeks to become is a city of a new level that is beyond the top-tier cities of South Korea and the world. In response to the 5th Industrial Revolution, the city aims to become an Ultra Smart City while also becoming a human-oriented City of Happiness, aiming to enhance the quality of life through culture, history, and environment.
