[Asia Economy reporters Hyunju Lee and Hyunji Kwon] The People Power Party held a budget policy consultation meeting in Honam (Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam) on the 18th to review regional issues and discuss budget allocation. Among the 17 cities and provinces, they chose Honam, considered a conservative stronghold, as the location for the first meeting.

Kwon Seong-dong, acting party leader and floor leader of the People Power Party, held the consultation meeting at Gwangju City Hall and said, "We will not spare support for the AI industry and future mobility industry promised during the presidential and local elections," adding, "We will faithfully fulfill the promise to attract a complex shopping mall and actively support cultural arts and tourism industries to improve the quality of life for local residents."

Acting leader Kwon continued, "As we promised to diversify Saemangeum development and foster Jeonbuk as an international free city, we will prioritize various projects for Saemangeum's development," and stated, "We will also actively consider the development of the agro-biological industry, including the seed life industry innovation cluster in Gimje, and the construction of the National Jeonbuk Sports Comprehensive Training Center."

He also said, "Jeonnam is home to the Naroho Space Center, a pride of Korea. The People Power Party will maximize such strengths of Jeonnam and continuously expand SOC projects such as high-speed rail, highways, and port modernization to improve the quality of life for local residents," and expressed the intention to actively support the development of regional specialized industries such as aerospace and eco-friendly renewable energy.

The People Power Party plans to continue holding budget policy consultation meetings sequentially in the remaining cities and provinces. At the scheduled consultation meeting in Daegu-Gyeongbuk on the 20th, discussions on the Special Act for New Airport Construction are expected, and in the Chungcheong region consultation meeting, discussions on the early opening of the Sejong Assembly Hall and the establishment of the Chungcheong metropolitan railway network are anticipated.
