SEOGWIPO, Jeju Island — Around 600 businesspeople from conglomerates and small- and medium-sized enterprises nationwide came to the southern resort island of Jeju, Wednesday, to attend the 47th Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Jeju Forum.
Participants at the four-day annual event included KCCI and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, Samsung Electronics President Park Seung-hee, SK Communication Committee President Lee Hyung-hee, Hana Bank CEO Lee Seung-lyul, Samchully CEO Lee Chan-eui, Sambo Motors CEO Lee Jae-ha and LSC Food CEO Chung Ki-ok.
“It feels like we’re in a jungle these days,” Chey said in his opening remarks on the first day of the forum. “We cannot talk about 토토사이트 technologies without mentioning artificial intelligence (AI), so we need countermeasures against this situation.”
The KCCI chairman, however, expressed optimism about Korean businesspeople overcoming economic and political uncertainties once again.
Following Chey’s opening remarks, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok delivered a lecture on the government’s plans to cope with the economic situation during the second half of this year, as well as its Dynamic Economy roadmap.
“Amid the growing importance of economic security, the government has no choice but to team up with businesses,” Choi said.
