Chairperson Kwon Young-se of the People Power Party emphasized on the 30th, "The construction of the Sejong National Assembly building and the promotion of the president's second office reflect our party's firm will to make Sejong the heart of South Korea."
Chairperson Kwon met with Mayor Choi Min-ho of Sejong that morning at the National Assembly and stated, "Completing the 'administrative capital Sejong' is a historic mission."
Chairperson Kwon reiterated the party's pledge for the full transfer of the National Assembly to Sejong and the return of the Yeouido Assembly building to the citizens through the 'Yeouido National Assembly Return Promotion Committee,' saying, "We will dismantle the old political symbol engraved in the heart of Seoul and rebirth it as a plaza for the future."
In response, Mayor Choi said, "The balanced development of the nation and the introduction of a decentralization system of governance are challenges of our time that can no longer be delayed, and the transfer of the presidential office and the National Assembly to Sejong is the first step in that direction."
Mayor Choi also requested the establishment of a national mega think tank in the Chungcheong region and the reform of the International Polytechnic University to nurture industrial talents.
