[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Ki-dong] Preliminary candidate Woo Gi-jong announced on the 5th that he will hold the 2nd policy pledge briefing session at 2 p.m. on the 6th at the campaign office in Sangdong.

At this 2nd briefing session, preliminary candidate Woo Gi-jong will present innovation strategies (pledges) to reconsider the sustainability of the fisheries sector, one of Mokpo's main industries, and to create new added value.

In addition, preliminary candidate Woo Gi-jong plans to announce the designation and development of the Mokpo Economic Free Zone as a pledge. This is based on the judgment that the designation of an economic free zone is urgently needed for Mokpo to become the central city of the renewable energy industry in the southwestern region and the center of Korea's fisheries economy, which will lead to an abundance of quality jobs and revitalization of Mokpo's economy.

Meanwhile, at the 1st policy pledge briefing session, preliminary candidate Woo Gi-jong proposed SMART BLUE CITY as a sustainable new urban model to revive the declining Mokpo and presented the renewable energy (offshore wind power) industry as the future growth engine for Mokpo.

To this end, he proposed pledges including a large-scale marine tourism complex development project, Mokpo-style urban regeneration project, smart city construction project, complex transfer center construction project, offshore wind power hinterland and research complex development, establishment of an offshore wind power specialized training center, and fostering of storage device industries such as hydrogen fuel cells, showcasing his unique bold planning as an economic policy expert and budget specialist.

Preliminary candidate Woo Gi-jong stated, “As the novel coronavirus infection is spreading, we have fully prepared by providing hand sanitizers and disinfecting the campaign office,” and added, “We ask visitors to the campaign office to take precautions such as wearing masks,” showing his preparedness against the novel coronavirus infection.
