[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Muan-eup Village Chiefs Association (President Moon Bong-sik) in Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 16th that it held a resolution rally opposing the relocation of the Gwangju military airport to Muan at the Muan-eup Office meeting room on the 11th.

This resolution rally, held 20 days after a relay resolution rally by nine towns and townships opposing the military airport on the 21st of last month, was conducted to condemn Gwangju Metropolitan City for not honoring the agreement to relocate the civilian airport unconditionally.

At the rally, about 40 village chiefs of Muan-eup agreed that according to the government's basic aviation policy plan and the 2018 agreement to revitalize Muan International Airport, the Gwangju civilian airport should be relocated to Muan, and that this should be done separately from the military airport relocation.

President Moon Bong-sik said, “If the village chiefs step forward to inform residents about the unfairness of relocating the Gwangju military airport, it will be very effective in uniting the will of the county residents,” adding, “To protect the beautiful Hwangto-gol Muan, all county residents must unite and carry out opposition activities.”
