[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Democratic Party of Korea's central party has appointed Yang Hyang-ja, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Seo-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, as the 'Special Committee Chairperson for the Relocation of Gwangju Military Airport and Ammunition Depot.'


According to candidate Yang on the 26th, the Democratic Party's Supreme Council established the Special Committee for the Relocation of Military Airport and Ammunition Depot on the 25th.


The establishment of this special committee is interpreted as a declaration of the Democratic Party's commitment to the relocation of the military airport and ammunition depot.


In fact, in the '21st National Assembly Election Democratic Party Policy Pledge Book' announced on the 23rd, the Democratic Party's central party announced 'smooth promotion of the military airport relocation project' as a key pledge for the Gwangju region.


The pledge book included plans to amend the 'Special Act on Military Airport Relocation and Support' to expand national support and to develop a convergence complex and smart city on the former military airport site.


Candidate Yang also argued on the 25th of last month, through the announcement of the 'Yang Hyang-ja Plan to Strengthen Support for Military Airport Relocation Areas,' that the central party should not only pledge the relocation of the military airport but also strengthen support through active incentive policies.


Candidate Yang is expected to organize the committee in the capacity of the special committee chairperson.


Candidate Yang stated, "I will promote the relocation of Gwangju Military Airport and the Mareuk-dong Ammunition Depot within the term of the 21st National Assembly."



She added, "We will appoint committee members mainly from Seo-gu and Gwangju citizens interested in the relocation of the military airport and Mareuk-dong ammunition depot," and "This special committee will not be one that only operates during the election period but will be a powerful committee that resolves issues through government and party-government consultations."
