I want to create the perception that Korea’s KRA Racing Park is not just a place for horse racing. I think that’s the right way to make it. In that sense, the horse theme park can be considered a small attempt.There are 30 off-track sales outlets nationwide. This place should not be used merely as a place where horse racing fans buy tickets. It must become a cultural origin site of that region. The Gangnam over-the-counter sales office was tried as that pilot case. The remaining over-the-counter sales outlets should also develop to that level.The amazing place where the meeting is being held now is a testing ground for young people.

In addition, through active quarantine negotiations with export destination countries, fresh agricultural products such as pears and tomatoes were exported to South America for the first time, and by successfully holding the 12th IPRC General Conference in Songdo, Incheon, in April last year with the participation of about 360 national representatives from the global plant quarantine sector, it also provided an opportunity to enhance its international standing as a leading country in the field of plant quarantine.

Six years from now, in 2022, will mark the 1,000th anniversary of horse racing being introduced to Korea. By then, Korean horse racing should become a leading country in horse racing. Currently, we are holding an international race with participants from seven countries, but in the future we will ensure that the international race is held to the highest standard in every aspect, including the number of participating countries and the quality of the horses. We plan to divide the six years into three phases of two years each and expand it step by step. In 2018, two years later, at least 10 countries, and even more two years after that. We are planning an internationally competitive event that is outstanding in every respect.In advanced horse racing countries, horse racing has established itself as a sophisticated and wholesome leisure sport.

However, driven by a sense of duty to eradicate it as quickly as possible, we have devoted ourselves to preventing further spread of the disease and bringing it to an early end through prompt and thorough testing and epidemiological investigations.And on September 28, after the discovery of imported red imported fire ants through a preliminary inspection at the container yard of Gamman Pier in Busan Port, all available personnel were mobilized to strengthen quarantine and surveillance at major ports.

A horse is the most beautiful animal bestowed by the gods. Its appearance is truly beautiful, and unlike deer or other animals, it has a moderate level of aggressiveness, so I think it can live in harmony with humans. It is also an animal capable of communicating with humans. When I felt upset or depressed, if I held my words, my heart would melt away like snow.A love for words comes first above all else. If you love horses, you develop a passion for them. I hope that with that passion, you’ll make the things we couldn’t achieve happen. To develop equestrianism in South Korea, we may not have enough time, but young equestrian hopefuls have plenty of time and boundless potential for growth.

Despite various difficult conditions last year, the Quarantine Agency achieved excellent results based on the expertise and know-how it had accumulated over time.As a prime example, by achieving the remarkable feat of advancing the development of the original technology for the foot-and-mouth disease vaccine by one year ahead of the original schedule, we laid the foundation for victory over vaccine sovereignty for foot-and-mouth disease.We also contributed to the early eradication of foot-and-mouth disease by being

What is most welcome is the emphasis on the change from the perception that the Korea Racing Authority is neither an intelligence agency nor an organization that requires special security to the statement that we will ensure that all operations across all possible fields can be conducted transparently.He also said that was exactly the short cut to restoring public trust. It is analyzed that this statement takes into account the issue of the Korea Racing Authority and the horse industry’s damaged image,

To introduce the principle of competition, all sectors must be opened and made transparent. Korean horse racing should also let people experience world-class horse racing firsthand through international races. Only then can you receive fresh stimulation and be able to improve. This is the purpose of holding this international race. We plan to actively continue hosting international races in the future.Currently, racehorses are being exported to Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and other countries, and there are plans to further expand racehorse exports going forward. In addition to exporting unilaterally, imports must also proceed concurrently. However, under current Korean law, race imports from overseas are restricted, imposing legal limitations.
