[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 2nd regarding the construction project of Busan Gadeokdo New Airport, "We will complete it within the next 8 years and succeed in hosting the 2030 Busan Expo."

At the Busan mayoral candidate selection primary held in Gadeokdo, Busan, Lee said, "This mayor will be responsible for a turning point that changes Busan's history from before to after the relocation of Gadeok New Airport."

He emphasized, "The most successful historical transition will occur when a Democratic Party member becomes mayor, as citizens think. Although party support and candidate support fluctuated in opinion polls, an overwhelming majority responded that a Democratic Party member must become mayor to successfully launch Gadeok New Airport. That judgment is correct."

He added, "Regardless of whether Busan citizens and party comrades choose among candidates Byun Seong-wan, Kim Young-choon, or Park In-young, the Democratic Party will change Busan's history together with that mayor. We will also accomplish establishing an international airport capable of air logistics at Gadeok New Airport."
