“Jeju 2nd Airport, President Moon promises to open a port early”
Jeju Island Governor Won Hee-ryong suggested to Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, who visited Jeju Island on the 19th, to implement the follow-up procedure as soon as possible to promote the Jeju 2nd Airport project.
Prime Minister Chung “The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport must quickly conclude.”
Governor Won delivered the’Suggestions for the Summit Promotion of Jeju 2nd Airport Construction Project’ at a meeting with Prime Minister Jeong held at the conference room on the 2nd floor of the Jeju Provincial Office at 4:50 pm on the same day.
Governor Won said, “The construction plan for Jeju 2nd Airport was confirmed and announced by the government in November 2015 as a national project,” said Governor Won. “President Moon Jae-in also promised early opening of Jeju 2nd Airport in 2017. It is a fact that all citizens, including the citizens of Jeju, know.”
“The president and the government have a responsibility to keep this promise.” “The president and the government are responsible for the construction of Jeju 2nd Airport, a promise to the people and to the citizens of Jeju. I suggest you go ahead with the process quickly,” he said.
Governor Won said, “The final judgment of the Jeju 2nd Airport construction project is the work of the government, not Jeju Island. Experts admit it. If I close Jeju 2nd Airport, is there any other alternative?”
Governor Won said, “There are no good jobs, so young people are leaving Jeju.” “Jeju is a place where it is difficult to create quality jobs because there are no big companies. It is possible to create 50,000 high-quality jobs through the Jeju 2nd Airport construction project.”
