Governor Nam Kyung-pil Signs Mutual Prosperity Pact with Jeolla Province Following Gangwon and Jeju

Gyeonggi Province Governor Nam Kyung-pil will sign a mutual prosperity pact with Jeolla Province, following similar agreements with Gangwon Province and Jeju Province.

According to Gyeonggi Province on the 3rd, Lee Nack-yeon, Governor of Jeolla Province, and Myung Hyun-kwan, Chairman of the Jeolla Province Provincial Council, will visit Pangyo Techno Valley Startup Campus on the 9th to sign the 'Gyeonggi Province-Jeolla Province Mutual Prosperity Cooperation Agreement' with Governor Nam Kyung-pil and Yoon Hwa-seop, Chairman of the Gyeonggi Province Provincial Council.

The agreement covers cooperative projects in nine areas including: ▲promoting the establishment of community-sharing solar power plants, ▲joint cooperation on housing Jeolla Province university students from nuclear power plant-adjacent areas in Ttabok dormitories, ▲joint use of overseas trade offices to support small and medium enterprise exports, ▲establishing joint support platforms to promote renewable energy projects, ▲joint cooperation on developing globally competitive flower varieties and overseas marketing, and ▲joint cooperation on revitalizing ceramics culture and industry.

Among these, the 'community-sharing solar power plant establishment initiative' has attracted particular attention. Under this project, Jeolla Province will provide solar power generation-related technology to build a solar power plant in Gyeonggi Province, with a portion of the proceeds to be distributed as scholarships to students residing in the power plant areas of both provinces.

Gyeonggi Province expects this project to be a meaningful endeavor that presents a mutually beneficial cooperation model between energy production and consumption regions.

Meanwhile, Governor Nam Kyung-pil has continued his inter-provincial coordination efforts, having signed mutual prosperity pacts with Gangwon Province Governor Choi Moon-soon in April and Jeju Province Governor Won Hee-ryong in August of last year.
