Daegu Mayor Choo Kyung-ho and Gyeongbuk Governor Lee Cheol-woo met on October 6 in Daegu to discuss regional issues including administrative integration and the construction of an integrated new airport, according to Yonhap. The meeting was a return visit after Choo visited Gyeongbuk Province in August. [ 1 ]
The meeting was also attended by Daegu City Council Chairman Lim In-hwan and Gyeongbuk Provincial Council Chairman Kim Hee-soo, Yonhap reported. The Seoul Shinmun headline said the city and provincial councils added their support to the cooperation. [ 1 , 2 ]
The agenda included stalled Daegu-Gyeongbuk administrative integration, the integrated new airport, relocation of second public institutions, cooperation on a super-wide living and economic zone, and measures to address a reduction in local allocation taxes due to a proposed future response fund, according to Yonhap. After the meeting, the leaders planned to sign a joint agreement on mutual prosperity and cooperation. [ 1 ]
The joint agreement reportedly focuses on joint responses for legal revisions needed to launch an integrated special city by 2028 and to build the integrated new airport, Yonhap reported. The two leaders had previously agreed in late July, after the 9th local elections, that administrative integration should take priority for resolving issues such as the new airport and attracting second public institutions. They later launched a “Daegu-Gyeongbuk Administrative Integration Promotion Team” with the 2028 goal. [ 1 ]
Por qué importa
The meeting signals a renewed effort to merge Daegu and Gyeongbuk into a single administrative region, which would redraw local governance and could accelerate infrastructure projects like the new airport. However, the two sides have yet to overcome stalled progress, and the agreement is only a step toward required legislation.
