51 National Assembly Members Unite to Support New Designation of 'Changwon National Industrial Complex 2.0'

Received Direct Signature from Assemblyman Kim Young-sun... Delivered to Hong Nam-pyo, Changwon Special Mayor

National Assembly member Kim Young-sun delivered a petition signed by 51 members of the National Assembly to Hong Nam-pyo, the mayor of Changwon Special City, for the new designation of the "Changwon National Industrial Complex (2.0)."

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] National Assembly member Kim Young-seon delivered a petition signed by 51 members of the National Assembly to Hong Nam-pyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, on the 26th, requesting the new designation of the ‘Changwon National Industrial Complex (2.0).’

The city has already submitted a related proposal to the central government to be designated as a ‘new Changwon National Industrial Complex specialized in the defense and nuclear power industries,’ which will open the next 50 years for Changwon and the Republic of Korea. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to announce the final selection results around mid-January next year after evaluating the plans submitted by local governments, including Changwon Special City.

So far, Mayor Hong and Assemblyman Kim have directly promoted efforts such as ▲presenting the rationale for lifting the greenbelt in the Changwon area at a National Assembly-hosted forum to secure new land for the Changwon National Industrial Complex ▲explaining the national industrial complex proposal and candidate sites to the Ministry of Land evaluation team ▲persuading members of the National Assembly standing committees.

Some of the National Assembly members who signed the petition for the new designation of Changwon National Industrial Complex (2.0) are supporting Changwon by participating despite their constituencies being areas applying for national industrial complexes.

This is interpreted as a shared recognition that while the existing Changwon National Industrial Complex (1.0) has driven South Korea’s economic growth during the industrialization era, the new national industrial complex (2.0) that Changwon Special City is preparing this time will propel South Korea’s economy to a great leap forward in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The city plans to forward the received petition to the Ministry of Land and related government departments.

Mayor Hong said, “Despite their busy legislative activities, I thank the 51 National Assembly members who united their intentions and Assemblyman Kim Young-seon for his dedicated efforts for Changwon.”
