[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Environmental and forestry organizations in Jeonnam urged the fulfillment of the 'Gwangju Private Airport Relocation Promise.'

On the 17th, five environmental and forestry organizations in the Jeonnam region stated in a press release, "Gwangju Mayor Lee Yong-seop should stop changing his stance and fulfill the 2021 promise to integrate the private airport."

The organizations participating in the press release held at the outdoor stage of Suncheon Araetjang were ▲ Jeonnam Sustainable Development Council (Chairman Kim Young-jin) ▲ Jeonnam Climate Environment Network (Executive Director Lee Man-sil) ▲ Korea Forest Managers Association Gwangju Jeonnam Branch (Branch Chief Choi Nam-yong) ▲ Jeonnam Leading Forestry Association (Chairman Hong Jae-hee) ▲ Korea Forestry Successors Association Jeonnam Branch (Branch Chief Kim Soon-gyu).

The organizations said, "No matter what position a politician holds, abandoning a promise like a discarded object is not the behavior of a responsible leader," and added, "The unconditional promise to relocate the Gwangju private airport to Muan must be kept."

They continued, "Gwangju City is misleading public opinion by treating the relocation of the military airport as a prerequisite for the private airport relocation," and emphasized, "It is common sense and the proper course to proceed with the private airport relocation as promised and to find a solution through consultation with the government regarding the military airport relocation."
