On the 2nd, Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, paid successive visits to Park Kwang-on, the newly appointed floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Yoon Jae-ok, the floor leader of the People Power Party, requesting cooperation from both parties on Gyeonggi Province's current issues.


At 2 p.m. that day, Governor Kim met with Park Kwang-on, the Democratic Party floor leader, and said, "Congratulations on your appointment as the floor leader of the Democratic Party. I want to express that we share the same intention regarding reform and unity, and as the governor of Gyeonggi Province, I will set an exemplary model that best implements the values, vision, and policies pursued by the Democratic Party."


He added, "There are many issues in Gyeonggi Province that need to be resolved in the National Assembly," and asked, "I hope you will handle them well."


In response, Floor Leader Park Kwang-on said, "Governor Kim Dong-yeon places great importance on the values we pursue such as reform, expansion, and unity, and especially your economic insight and capability are key elements for our party's expansion, for which I am grateful. If Gyeonggi Province, the National Assembly, and the Democratic Party join forces, we can gain great strength in achieving reform and unity, particularly expansive unity."


Later that day, around 3:30 p.m., Governor Kim met with Yoon Jae-ok, floor leader of the People Power Party, and explained, "Gyeonggi Province is currently a crucial axis in national governance with many tasks, and there are many matters requiring cooperation from the central government and the National Assembly. I will contact you frequently to discuss Gyeonggi Province's administration. If there is anything you need for Gyeonggi Province, I will do my best. I hope for a good cooperative relationship among the central government, the legislature, and Gyeonggi Province."


Floor Leader Yoon Jae-ok replied, "I understand there will be various difficulties in leading Gyeonggi Province's administration. Good cooperation with Gyeonggi Province is essential for government policies to be effectively delivered to every corner of the province. If there are areas where government or National Assembly cooperation is needed to carry out the provincial administration, I will strive to help with an open mind."



Earlier that morning, Governor Kim attended the 'National Assembly Forum on the Establishment of Gyeonggi Northern Special Self-Governing Province' held at the National Assembly Library, stating, "The Gyeonggi Northern Special Self-Governing Province can be a driving force for the development of Gyeonggi Province and the Republic of Korea," and requested support at the National Assembly level to pass the "Special Act on the Establishment of Gyeonggi Northern Special Self-Governing Province" before next year's general election.
