Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon met consecutively with Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Park Chan-dae, the party’s floor leader, to request cooperation on the enactment and revision of the province’s key legislative agenda known as the ‘Three Economic Laws.’

The Three Economic Laws that Governor Kim requested cooperation on that day include ▲the enactment of the Semiconductor Special Act ▲the enactment and revision of the RE100 Three Laws ▲and the enactment of the Special Act for the Establishment of the Northern Gyeonggi Special Self-Governing Province.

The Semiconductor Special Act includes provisions for designating semiconductor special zones to support infrastructure such as power and water supply, concentrated corporate settlement, securing manpower, and expanding renewable energy, as well as easing regulations in the metropolitan area, supporting fabless companies and mid-sized and small enterprises, and establishing a semiconductor ecosystem fund.

The RE100 Three Laws include the revision of the Renewable Energy Act to realize the national RE100 goal, the enactment of the Agricultural-type Solar Power Support Act (tentative name) to achieve rural RE100, and the revision of the Industrial Complex Act to realize industrial complex RE100.

At a meeting with Floor Leader Park Chan-dae on the 3rd, Governor Kim said, "While I am grateful to the public for supporting the Democratic Party’s vision and policy direction, I also feel a heavy sense of responsibility," adding, "I will do my best to properly build the Republic of Korea together with the party."

He continued, "I have about two requests," and added, "I propose the party’s cooperation on the Three Economic Laws and regular communication between metropolitan local government heads affiliated with the Democratic Party and the party leadership."

In particular, he emphasized, "As a governor focused on economic revitalization and diplomacy, I request the party’s active review of the Semiconductor Special Act," and added, "The government is lagging and regressive on climate change; if it cannot respond actively, it will become a major obstacle to industry and the economy. Therefore, I also mention the RE100 Three Laws."

He also urged, "Regarding the Special Act for the Establishment of the Northern Gyeonggi Special Self-Governing Province, which Representative Jeong Seong-ho has introduced as the main bill and Representative Park Jeong has separately proposed, I ask the party to actively engage."

In response, Floor Leader Park Chan-dae said, "Gyeonggi Province is a small Korea, and Gyeonggi’s growth is directly linked to Korea’s growth," adding, "The Democratic Party, as the ruling party, must take responsibility for Korea’s future and prepare together. We will do our best to foster the economic and industrial ecosystem for Korea’s future by actively supporting semiconductors, RE100, and more alongside Gyeonggi Province."

After concluding the official schedule with Floor Leader Park, Governor Kim held a private meeting with Leader Lee Jae-myung at the National Assembly. It is known that Governor Kim made the same requests to Leader Lee at this meeting.

Earlier, on the 24th of last month, Governor Kim Dong-yeon met with 40 newly elected members of the National Assembly from Gyeonggi Province’s constituencies and asked them to unite their efforts in support of the ‘Three Economic Laws.’
