Democratic Party Jeonnam and Gyeongnam Provincial Parties Join Hands for 'Yeonghonam Metropolitan Railroad Joint Promotion'

Promise to Expedite Project Through Cooperation in the 22nd National Assembly

Shin Jeong-hoon and Kim Doo-kwan: "Yeongho-nam Solidarity... A Model for Regional Cooperation Projects"

The Jeonnam and Gyeongnam Provincial Chapters of the Democratic Party of Korea have joined hands to jointly promote the 'Yeongho-nam Metropolitan Railroad'.

On the 25th, according to the Jeonnam Provincial Chapter of the Democratic Party (Chairman Shin Jeong-hoon), the Jeonnam Chapter (Chairman Shin Jeong-hoon) and the Gyeongnam Chapter (Chairman Kim Doo-kwan) drafted an agreement on the joint promotion of the Yeongho-nam Metropolitan Railroad as a model of interregional cooperation in the spirit of Yeongho-nam solidarity.

At the signing ceremony held at the office of candidate Kim Doo-kwan in Yangsan-si Eul on the same day, Shin Jeong-hoon, chairman of the Jeonnam Provincial Chapter, and Kim Doo-kwan, chairman of the Gyeongnam Provincial Chapter, agreed to jointly promote the metropolitan railroad project in the 22nd National Assembly.

Among the 44 projects included in the national railway network project over the past four years, only five have been designated as national leading projects.

Among these, only two lines?the Busan-Yangsan-Ulsan metropolitan railroad network and the Gwangju-Naju metropolitan railroad?are currently undergoing preliminary feasibility studies.

This signing symbolizes the promise by the two candidates, who were key promoters of the two projects undergoing preliminary feasibility studies, to expedite these projects through cooperation in the 22nd National Assembly.

Candidate Shin Jeong-hoon emphasized, “Once the metropolitan railroad is established, travel time between the regions will be shortened, greatly improving regional accessibility and mobility. This will be the most important opportunity to usher in the era of ultra-metropolitan local governments and is expected to serve as a foundation for regional coexistence and balanced development.”

Candidate Kim Doo-kwan evaluated, “Once a metropolitan railroad project passes the preliminary feasibility stage, it is practically over 80% complete. Today’s agreement symbolizes the harmony and solidarity of Yeongho-nam and will lead to the actual promotion of the project.”
