The visit aimed to secure government budget allocations for projects prioritized by the incoming administration. Mayor Yang reportedly sought support for the inclusion of these projects in the national budget plan. Details of the specific projects were not immediately disclosed. This proactive approach signals the new mayor’s commitment to swiftly addressing local needs through national funding.
