Hong Jee-sun Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

I am Hong Jee-sun, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Our Ministry is responsible for the homes where our days begin and end, and how we get around in between.

We will promote balanced development so that everyone can enjoy a comfortable living environment and have access to opportunities, wherever they live.

We will also make roads, railways, airports, and public transportation more convenient and better connected, and ensure safety at construction sites and across the transport sector.

Furthermore, we will advance innovation in future mobility, including autonomous driving, and in the construction industry. We will prepare our land and infrastructure for demographic, industrial, climate, and technological change.

Policies are not complete until the people we serve can feel the difference they make.

We will listen closely to voices from the field, focus on substance and tangible results, and seek solutions from the perspective of the people.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will continue to fulfill its responsibility to make everyday life better and move Korea forward.

Thank you.

Hong Jee-sun
Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
