Also at the meeting, President Yoon Suk-yeol talked to the competitors, discussing ideas to improve the training environment.
President Yoon said: “I hope that all Competitors will get good results in this Competition. I will do my best to nurture technical talents as skills are the driving force for Korea’s development and the key to future leaps.”
