Korean Island Promotion Agency and 3 Other Organizations Join Hands for Comprehensive Island Policy
National Institute of Maritime Cultural Heritage, Gwangju-Jeonnam Research Institute, and Mokpo University Library Culture Research Institute MOU
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] As the new government has set the national goal of "A Local Era Where Anywhere in the Republic of Korea is a Good Place to Live," four institutions located in Jeonnam have joined forces to respond to the extinction of local and island areas.
The Korea Island Promotion Agency (President Oh Dongho) announced on the 11th that it signed a business agreement with the National Research Institute of Maritime Cultural Heritage, the Gwangju Jeonnam Research Institute, and the Mokpo University Island Culture Research Institute to establish a local and global island policy network foundation.
Each institution agreed to jointly hold domestic and international island-related academic seminars using their networks and capabilities and to mutually cooperate in survey and research projects for island policy development.
The business agreement among the four institutions was made as the new government launched and promoted balanced development led by local regions, supporting regions to maximize their unique characteristics and establishing a foundation for innovative growth by region with the consensus of each institution.
Earlier, the Korea Island Promotion Agency signed an MOU in March with government-funded research institutions responsible for island, marine, and rural research, surveys, and policies (Korea Rural Economic Institute, Korea Maritime Institute), and last month, it also signed a business agreement with the Korea Local Information Development Institute to build an island information platform.
