[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] President Moon Jae-in on the 19th described the completion of Edison Motors' Gunsan factory, a participant company in the 'Jeonbuk Gunsan-type Job Model,' as "a powerful sound of a miracle heralding the electric vehicle era in Gunsan," and stated that the government will provide a "business-friendly environment."

At the completion ceremony held at Edison Motors' Gunsan factory in the Saemangeum Industrial Complex that morning, President Moon congratulated the completion through a video message, saying, "I sincerely congratulate the completion of the Edison Motors factory."

President Moon predicted, "A total investment of 517.1 billion won will be made in Gunsan and the Saemangeum area," adding, "About 1,700 jobs will be created, and 110,000 electric vehicles will be produced annually."

He continued, "This will serve as a stepping stone for the region's outstanding youth to grow, and mid-sized and venture companies with technological capabilities in the region will create a fair industrial ecosystem based on local infrastructure."

President Moon evaluated this completion as an achievement made possible through the participation of the region's two major labor unions and Gunsan citizens, cooperation between labor and management, and coexistence among companies, stating, "It is a valuable outcome that created an opportunity for a leap forward amid the difficult situation of decreasing jobs."

He also promised government support for the 'win-win job' project. President Moon emphasized, "The government will build a tight employment safety net through win-win jobs," and added, "By realizing the 'Human New Deal,' a key pillar of the Korean New Deal 2.0, we will transform the entire country into a better place to live."

He further stated, "The government will vigorously support local governments' efforts and provide an environment that is good for working and doing business," adding, "We will help ensure the sustainability of the win-win job project through region-tailored package support such as regulatory reform and research and development assistance."

President Moon concluded, "The Gunsan-type job model will become a successful model of eco-friendly electric vehicles and win-win jobs," and urged, "Let us spread hope nationwide through the success of the Edison Motors factory."
