[Asia Economy (Uijeongbu) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, expressed his welcome for the government's measures to lift and ease regulations on military facility protection zones in border areas.

On the 9th, Lee posted on his Facebook, stating, "Regulations for national security are inevitable and must be accepted by everyone," adding, "However, sacrifices should be minimized and appropriate compensation should follow.
