Governor Park said, "The regular session of the National Assembly in September is the last chance to open the Space Aviation Agency within the year," adding, "Even if the supplementary provisions of the Special Act on the Establishment of the Space Aviation Agency are shortened to three months, the special act must pass the National Assembly before September 25, when the plenary session is held."

He continued, "The ruling and opposition parties have agreed to handle the special act before Chuseok," and added, "I will directly visit the National Assembly's Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting and Communications Committee and communicate with lawmakers to actively ensure the passage of the special act without ceasing efforts."

Earlier, Governor Park met with the chairman of the National Assembly's Science and Technology Committee and lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties, and attended the full committee meeting to repeatedly urge the prompt passage of the special act on the Space Aviation Agency.

On the 3rd, he attended the "Gyeongnam-wide Rally to Urge the Passage of the Special Act on the Space Aviation Agency" held at Samcheonpo Bridge Park in Sacheon City.

On that day, he said, "For the realization of the national space economy vision, the center of the space industry must be Gyeongnam, and the Space Aviation Agency must be promptly established in Sacheon," adding, "The collective selfish opposition by some public institutions or politicians is unforgivable."

He further emphasized, "From this moment on, groups opposing the establishment of the Space Aviation Agency are forces blocking national development and sinners of history," and stressed, "The ruling and opposition parties say they will review the special act before Chuseok, but if it is delayed any further, the 3.3 million residents of Gyeongnam will never stand by silently."
