Gu Ja-cheon, Chairman of Changwon Chamber of Commerce, "Second Phase of Public Institution Relocation to Provinces Must Be Adopted as a National Policy"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jucheol In] Gu Jacheon, Chairman of the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, on the 2nd requested that Gyeongnam Province and the Provincial Council actively take action to ensure that the second phase of public institution relocation to local areas is promptly adopted as a government national agenda.

The Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry sent a petition containing this request to the province and the Provincial Council. In the petition, the Changwon Chamber stated, “The second phase of public institution relocation to local areas is an important task to fulfill the era’s mission of national balanced development,” and “To ensure it is promptly adopted as a government national agenda, more active cooperation and coordination among non-capital region metropolitan local governments are necessary.”

It further explained, “During the relocation process, many metropolitan governments nationwide are expected to fiercely compete to attract public institutions based on their own arguments,” and “Compared to other non-capital regions, Gyeongnam, which is disadvantaged not only in physical distance from the capital area but also in transportation conditions, requires closer preparation and effort.”

In particular, it added, “As the only special city in the non-capital region and the central city of Gyeongnam’s economy, Changwon urgently needs to attract public institutions for its re-advancement,” and “This is a necessary matter not only for Changwon but also for the future of the entire Gyeongnam region.”

It continued, “Please actively cooperate and support so that research institute-centered public institutions can relocate to Changwon, enabling the re-advancement of Changwon and the Gyeongnam economy.”

Gu Jacheon, Chairman of the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said, “In Changwon, the Pan-Citizen Movement Headquarters for Attracting Public Institutions to Changwon has also been launched,” and “Active support from the metropolitan local government, the province, and the Provincial Council is necessary for the Pan-Citizen Movement Headquarters to achieve substantial results.”
