Gwangju City Submits Key Regional Issues to the Government with Jeonnam and Jeonbuk
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 25th that, together with Jeonnam and Jeonbuk provinces, it adopted a joint petition urging government support for key tasks for the future development of the Honam region at the conference hall on the 2nd floor of the Gwangju Kim Dae-jung Convention Center.
The event was held with the attendance of Gwangju Mayor Lee Yong-seop, Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok, and Jeonbuk Governor Song Ha-jin (with Jeonbuk Deputy Governor Woo Beom-gi attending on behalf), and proceeded with the signing and announcement of the joint petition.
The joint petition signed by the three provincial governors on the day includes requests to the National Assembly and central government ministries for the resolution of major projects and current issues in the three regions: ▲ Gwangju City to form and operate a TF to prepare policy alternatives for the integrated civilian airport name and military airport relocation ▲ Jeonbuk Province to expedite the establishment of the ‘National Public Health Medical Graduate School’ ▲ Jeonnam Province to attract the ‘4th Generation Circular Synchrotron Radiation Accelerator’ to the Honam region.
Gwangju City and Jeonnam Province agreed on August 20, 2018, at the Gwangju-Jeonnam Win-Win Development Committee to form and operate a joint TF early to find solutions for the integration of Gwangju civilian airport and Muan Airport, and the relocation of the Gwangju military airport to Jeollanam-do.
The governors of Gwangju and Jeonnam agreed in the joint TF to propose new policy alternatives to the central government regarding the name of the integrated civilian airport following the planned integration of Gwangju Civilian Airport and Muan International Airport by the end of next year, as well as the relocation of the Gwangju military airport.

Mayor Lee Yong-seop said, “Our Gwangju has also been promoting the attraction of a synchrotron radiation accelerator for a long time, but we conceded to support Jeonnam’s attraction from a magnanimous perspective,” and added, “I hope that this spirit of coexistence and consideration will also be present in resolving the issues of Gwangju civilian airport and military airport relocation between the two provinces.”
