Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon met with former Gyeongnam Province Governor Kim Kyung-soo on the 8th at a location in Seoul ahead of his presidential election declaration on the 9th.


The meeting between the two was said by Governor Kim's side to have taken place as a gesture of mutual gratitude and well-wishing, given that Kim Dong-yeon had visited Kim Kyung-soo several times during his hunger strike in Gwanghwamun, and that Kim Dong-yeon was preparing for a visit to the United States.

At today's meeting, former Governor Kim Kyung-soo said, "Thank you for visiting me several times during my hunger strike; it was a great encouragement. We all need to unite our efforts so that this primary election results in an overwhelming regime change centered on the Democratic Party and democratic forces."



In response, Governor Kim Dong-yeon expressed, "I thank former Governor Kim for leading the end of the internal conflict with his whole body. This presidential election will be a turning point deciding whether we move toward a new country through a change that goes beyond ending the internal conflict and regime change." He added, "Let's continue to unite our strength and move forward."
