The Democratic Party of Korea's South Jeolla-Gwangju Integrated Special City chapter will hold the launch ceremony for its Future Strategy Planning Committee on Wednesday at the main conference hall of the integrated city council's Gwangju building.
The committee will develop a vision and policy alternatives to support the city's successful integration and economic advancement.
It comprises about 30 members representing academia, business, industry, media and civil society, co-chaired by chapter Chairman Ahn Do-geol and Chonnam National University President Lee Geun-bae.
The committee has identified five key tasks: establishing a balanced development strategy, allocating 20 trillion won in administrative integration support funds, accelerating the development of a southwestern semiconductor cluster, expediting the relocation of Gwangju's military airport, and drawing up measures for an eastern manufacturing belt. Fifteen subcommittees have been established to carry out this work.
Ahn, integrated city Mayor Min Hyeong-bae, integrated city council Speaker Song Hyeong-gon and members of the 15 subcommittees are expected to attend the launch ceremony to discuss key initiatives.
