I am deeply grateful to my colleagues and seniors and juniors who shared their difficulties with me, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the officials of the Korean Horse Association and to the horse management and the union who have provided me with great help in every important crisis. Throughout the difficult times, it was an opportunity to rethink the precious values that I have forgotten for a while. It is the importance of living together. As you know, the Pukyong Horse Management Association recognizes that the stability of employment is the biggest task facing the association, and at the same time, competitiveness, the essence of horse racing,

In addition, as foreign red fire ants were discovered through preliminary observation at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, the government mobilized all available personnel to strengthen quarantine and observation at major ports. In addition, rapid control work was carried out with relevant ministries to prevent foreign red fire ants from entering and spreading into Korea early. In addition, active quarantine negotiations with export partners resulted in the first export of fresh agricultural products such as pears and tomatoes to South America. In April last year, the 12th International Convention on Plant Protection (IPPC) was successfully held in Songdo, Incheon, where 360 national representatives from 120 countries participated in the field of plant quarantine, providing an opportunity to raise its international status as a leading country in the field of plant quarantine.

Over the past few years, horseback riding has become a hot topic with the public's interest and has quickly been forgotten. And the negative image of horse riding has affected the overall development of the horse industry, which was vigorously developed with the enactment of the Industry Promotion Act at the end of 2013, and many horse industry sectors are currently facing difficulties. In addition to the use of Korean horses, we are pursuing a future-oriented and harmonious system for all horse riders by striving to expand the base of sports for life, centering on the youth who foster future dream trees. Through these difficulties, we have not neglected our efforts to become the Korean Horse Racing Authority,

Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for silently performing their duties in their respective positions despite difficult conditions such as foot-and-mouth disease, highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the first discovery of an alien red fire ant. The new year is the Year of the Golden Dog. The dog is an animal that symbolizes bravery and wisdom, and also a partner that has been with humans for a long time. The quarantine headquarters will also approach the people one step closer and become a partner in empathizing and communicating. Despite various difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters produced excellent results based on the expertise and know-how accumulated so far. As a case in point, it laid the foundation for the "redemption vaccine sovereignty" by advancing the development of the original technology for foot-and-mouth vaccine by one year earlier than originally planned.

With the beginning of the new year in 2019, our members of the Seoul Racing Authority pledge once again. In an era of unpredictable upheaval, Korean horse racing now needs new leadership, and the role of our opponents, the center of Korean horse racing, is becoming more important than ever. The members of the Seoul Racing Authority, the center of Korean horse racing, promise to move away from the framework of the past and protect Korean horse racing through more enterprising and dynamic leadership, and lead real change and innovation. In the new year of 2019, Korean horse racing will imitate the symbolic meaning of the golden pig and dream of new hope and leap forward.

Despite these various efforts, the negative public perception of horse racing, falling sales due to the long-term economic downturn, the market erosion of the illegal gambling industry, and government-led regulations are getting stronger. In particular, various unfavorable factors such as the implementation of the 52-hour workweek and the still unstable employment system for managers have frozen the market, and the horse racing environment is deteriorating day by day due to weak investor sentiment in the face of each other. However, we can never stop the challenge. Although national policies and practical problems are hampering the development of horse racing, we should make all-out efforts to overcome the internal and external crises of Korean horse racing in the new year.

We will develop high value-added functional materials such as food and medicine that use agricultural products such as insects, while further strengthening research and development so that urban agriculture and healing agriculture can contribute to improving public health and quality of life and lead to job creation. Third, we will strengthen the competitiveness of Korean agriculture and expand global technological cooperation in response to market opening such as FTA.In order to discover new demand and build an export base, we will continue to foster excellent varieties to expand their supply, improve the quality and productivity of livestock products, and secure the competitiveness of our agricultural products by expanding the sustainable eco-friendly livestock base such as animal welfare technology.

Although there were many difficult and difficulties compared to previous years, there were also many meaningful events in the internationalization and advancement of Korean horseracing. With the hosting of the 3rd Korea Cup and the successful hosting of the Asian Horse Racing Conference, Korean horse racing is gradually developing as a member of the global horse racing world. What is particularly noteworthy this year is that small changes have begun on the spot to foster better racehorses, along with the interest in the horse racing world. In addition, our faces are studying horse racing, including its system and ancestry, amid interest and affection for horses, forming a new culture of communicating with officials and fans,

The value of life that people aim for is changing little by little. In the past, work was a priority, but now the weight is on that work-life balance is important. The rise of the travel and tourism industries and the various sports attract attention reflect this. With this trend, Gyeonggi-do Province has been supporting horseback riding to be reborn as a "healing leisure sport." Until now, Gyeonggi-do Province has designated Yongin, Hwaseong, and Icheon as special zones for horse industry and has been building infrastructure for the horse industry by supporting horse riding facilities. Last year, the "Youth Equestrian Festival with Family," a festival of horseback riders, was held at the site of the new Gyeonggi-do Office in Gwanggyo, Suwon, which received great response.

First, we will establish a field-oriented and ICT/big data-based livestock quarantine system and lay the foundation for advanced plant pest management. We will make all-out efforts to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently in duck farms, and to end it early. We will make preemptive and effective quarantine management possible through scientific epidemiological analysis based on information and communication technology and big data such as the Internet of Things (IoT). To prevent the recurrence of foot-and-mouth disease, we will maintain the positive rate of lean antibodies at more than 70% and try to achieve the goal of cleanliness of foot-and-mouth disease by establishing a site-oriented regular quarantine system.
