[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Democratic Party of Korea's Gwangju Metropolitan City Party has expressed a welcoming voice regarding the confirmation of the Gwangju-Daegu Dalbit Inland Railroad plan.

On the 29th, the Democratic Party's Gwangju City Party stated in a press release, "The government has reflected the Gwangju-Daegu Dalbit Inland Railroad, a railway representing the great integration of Yeonghonam and a key national balanced development route, in the 4th National Railroad Network Construction Plan," adding, "This is a bold decision prioritizing an inclusive transportation policy that can enhance regional development capabilities over economic feasibility logic in promoting large-scale national projects."

They continued, "The government's announcement of the Dalbit Inland Railroad construction shows a strong will to shift the national transportation network, which has been centered on the 'North-South axis,' to the 'East-West axis,' strengthening the self-sustaining power of the regional economy and creating new growth engines," emphasizing, "It is a vision declaration to actively invest in future values of solidarity and cooperation beyond administrative districts to disperse the concentration structure of the metropolitan area."
