[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon has referred to what he calls "Greater Peace" and mentioned advanced peace.

Governor Kim Dong-yeon said through SNS on the 19th, "When we think of peace, we think of safety from the threat of war and reduction of tensions.

<Gyeonggi Province Will Move Forward with "Greater Peace">
This is the 4th anniversary of the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement for a "Korean Peninsula without war."
It is a precious promise that transcends progressive and conservative governments and must be respected and upheld despite any difficulties. The efforts of both South and North Korea to adhere to the agreement must continue.
When we think of peace, we think of safety from the threat of war and reduction of tensions. On the Korean Peninsula, which is divided and in a state of military confrontation, peace is more important than anything. However, Gyeonggi Province seeks to go one step further and open the path to "Greater Peace."
"Greater Peace" means safety and peace from various problems threatening the future of the younger generation, such as intergenerational conflict, environmental threats, infectious disease issues, climate change, and demographic crisis.
The Let's DMZ event hosted by Gyeonggi Province is unfolding as a festival venue seeking "Greater Peace" in various genres including academia, culture and the arts, and sports.
As you are well aware, Gyeonggi Province is a local government with the longest border area. This is why the meaning of peace is particularly special to Gyeonggi residents.
Gyeonggi Province will never neglect efforts to protect the lives of residents and the people of the Republic of Korea through a higher level of peace.
