Chung Cheongrae, leader of the Democratic Party, will hold an on-site Supreme Council meeting and a Special Committee on Honam Development performance report session at the Kim Daejung Convention Center in Gwangju on December 10. The meeting will be attended by Chung, Yang Bunam, head of the Gwangju City Party Committee, regional committee heads, and other party leadership.

After the Supreme Council meeting in the morning, the Democratic Party will continue with the performance report session, where the Special Committee on Honam Development will present the results of its efforts to address regional issues and policy tasks. During the session, the development strategies for the Honam region, discussed at the committee level, will be released.

The Democratic Party launched the Special Committee on Honam Development as a permanent body in August to promote balanced regional development and address local issues in the Honam area. At the launch ceremony, Chung stated, "It is time to repay Honam's noble sacrifice and dedication with action," adding, "Once the committee reports its achievements to the party, we will use them as a basis for negotiations with the government." He also emphasized his expectations for tangible progress on long-standing regional projects such as the establishment of a public medical school and the expansion of transportation networks.

Since taking office, Chung has consistently visited the Honam region. Immediately after the party convention in August, he held his first on-site Supreme Council meeting as a joint session for Gwangju and South Jeolla at the South Jeolla Provincial Party office in Muan County, and before the meeting, visited the National May 18 Democratic Cemetery in Buk-gu, Gwangju. In September, he held a budget policy council at Gwangju City Hall to discuss next year's budget and regional issues. During the Chuseok holiday in October, he conducted a "Two-Day, One-Night Honam Appreciation Tour," visiting Gimje in North Jeolla, Gurye in South Jeolla, and Songjeong Market in Gwangju in succession.
