[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] On the 25th, Joo Ki-hwan, the People Power Party candidate for Mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, stated that the second phase of relocating public institutions to local areas should be expedited.

Candidate Joo said, "Although the relocation of public institutions to local areas has been promoted for national balanced development, about 44% still remain in the Seoul metropolitan area, and Gwangju has the fewest with only four." He added, "'Public Institution Local Relocation Season 2' must be promptly implemented to resolve the overcrowding in the Seoul metropolitan area and overcome the crisis of local extinction."

He continued, "To realize the second phase of relocating public institutions to local areas, a mayor affiliated with the ruling party who has influence is needed to persuade the government and the president." He emphasized, "Under the grand principle of regional economic development and job creation, we will strictly select target institutions and establish a meticulous attraction strategy to ensure success."

He also stated, "Taking the success case of Naju Innovation City as a model, we will prepare an attraction plan that can coexist through close cooperation with Jeonnam Province," and added, "We will focus on persuading and gaining understanding from the target institutions at the local government level."
