President Moon Jae-in publicly rebuked the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, who had expressed a’opposite’ opinion on the construction of the Busan Gadeok Island New Airport on the 25th, saying, “We must have will.” He also ordered full cooperation, saying, “To complete it before 2030, we need speed.” Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byeon Chang-heum apologized, saying, “It looks as if the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport was opposed to the new airport of Gadeok Island.
President Moon, who visited Busan on this day, said this while receiving a report on the construction plan of Gadeokdo New Airport, said Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport recently submitted a report containing a negative position on the construction of a new airport on Gadeok Island, and the controversy that “even the government is against it,” began to evolve.
President Moon’s’bitter voice’ towards the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport continued several times this day. “If the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport does not have the will, smooth business progress may not be easy.” “We must have a responsible attitude”.
President Moon Jae-in attends the Southeastern Mega City construction strategy report held in Busan on the 25th, and after completing an inspection on board the planned site of Gadeok Island, he is moving to the Ocean University training ship located at the multipurpose pier of Busan New Port.
The necessity of constructing a new airport in Gadeok-do was also emphasized. President Moon referred to the incident that 129 people died when a civilian aircraft crashed on Mt. Mt. Mast, near Gimhae New Airport in 2002, saying, “The basis of the new discussion is stability.” He added, “There is still a need for a second gateway airport that can be used by local governments in the Southeast region by growing the business.”
Gadeokdo also connected the necessity of a new airport with the development of Busan. President Moon said, “In terms of the volume of transportation, the more advanced the ultra-precision industry, the greater the importance of air logistics. If we have a gateway airport in Busan, the destination of the railroad, it can become a world-class logistics hub by connecting land, sea, and air.” It means that Gadeokdo new airport is needed to develop Busan as a’logistics base’. On this day, the opposition party was criticized for “explicit intervention in the 4/7 Busan mayoral election”.
President Moon said, “A new airport is also necessary to raise the level of balanced national development,” he said. “To achieve balanced national development, a metropolitan area that can compete with the metropolitan area must be created.” The Democratic Party is promoting a’mega city’ that connects Boo, Ul, and Gyeong via a wide-area transportation network. President Moon said, “Today seeing the new airport’s planned site and hearing the Megacity initiative, my heart is thrilled,” he said. “Let’s not stop with the plan, let’s make it happen.”
Prior to President Moon’s remarks that day, Minister Byeon Chang-heum said, “In some media, it seems as if the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport was opposed to the new airport of Gadeok Island, and we regret it.” Minister Byeon said, “Currently, it has been decided to conduct a feasibility study in advance during the deliberation process of the National Land Commission, and the disagreement has been resolved. If the bill passes tomorrow (at the plenary session of the National Assembly), Gadeok will do its best to promote the new airport.”
