Jeonnam Province began a swift initiative on June 19, embarking on a two-day visit to the National Assembly to ensure that Jeonnam's key issues are reflected in the new government's national agenda.

On this day, Jeonnam Province officials visited the offices of National Assembly members from the Jeonnam region, including Congressman Moon Geumju, to request the inclusion of Jeonnam's key issues in the new government's national agenda. They also explained the main initiatives identified to fulfill the President's regional pledges and requested cooperation.

The major proposals include: the establishment of a 'national medical school within an integrated university' in Jeonnam, which currently has no medical school; the creation of energy new towns such as the 'Solaseado AI Supercluster Hub'; the 'petrochemical and steel industry transformation' mega project; the development of a convergence district for advanced AI-based agriculture and livestock industries; the creation of a 'space launch vehicle industry convergence cluster'; and the promotion of Muan International Airport as a leading gateway airport in Northeast Asia. These are among the core policies aimed at Jeonnam's future development.

Previously, Jeonnam Province formed a 'New Government National Agenda Response Task Force' led by Governor Kim Yungrok, with participation from provincial departments and all 22 cities and counties.

Through this effort, Jeonnam Province, together with the cities and counties, identified 100 'Jeonnam Future Development Proposal Agenda' items to be reflected in the new government's national agenda, as well as 193 major 'Jeonnam Pledge Implementation Agenda' items for fulfilling regional pledges. The province is actively submitting these proposals to relevant ministries and agencies.

Jeonnam Province plans to work as one team with the 22 cities and counties and local National Assembly members to ensure that the region's key issues are thoroughly reflected in the new government's national agenda. The province will also make every effort to ensure that all of the President's regional pledge implementation initiatives are incorporated into government policy.
