[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byung-nae) is conducting consecutive unification education sessions for district office officials and residents to spread consensus on peace and unification issues on the Korean Peninsula.

A Nam-gu official stated, "A mood of reconciliation is being created between the previously divided South and North, and unification has become an important issue that can no longer be postponed for the Korean ethnic community." He added, "We will do our best to promote unification education so that the unification movement starting from the local community can be further activated."
