Yeosu City Council Holds Forum on 'Inheritance of Samryeo Integration Spirit'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] There has been a suggestion to promote commemorative projects to inherit the spirit of Samrye Integration, the first administrative district integration initiated by residents nationwide.

According to Yeosu City Council (Chairman Jeon Chang-gon), a 'Discussion Forum to Inherit the Spirit of Samrye Integration' hosted by City Council member Joo Jong-seop and Yeosu YMCA was held yesterday afternoon in the City Council's small conference room.

The forum, aimed at exploring specific tasks to commemorate the Samrye Integration, was chaired by Council member Kim Haeng-gi.

Former City Council member Ko Hyo-ju and Kim Dae-hee, the standing representative of the Yeosu Citizens' Solidarity Council, presented papers, while Shin Jang-ho, co-chairman of the Integrated Countermeasure Committee, NewSis reporter Kim Seok-hoon, and Council member Joo Jong-seop participated as discussants.

Participants in the forum agreed on the need to promote commemorative projects for the launch of the integrated Yeosu City to inherit the spirit of Samrye Integration.

There was a strong voice to change Yeosu Citizens' Day, currently designated as October 15, to April 1, the launch date of the integrated Yeosu City.

Along with this, there was also a proposal to form a pan-citizen promotion committee involving various sectors to carry out these initiatives.

Council member Joo Jong-seop said, “Even after 22 years since achieving Samrye Integration and becoming one Yeosu, there has been no official commemorative ceremony or establishment of a commemorative day,” adding, “Let’s start with three things?establishing a commemorative day, holding policy development forums, and enacting ordinances?putting aside major burdens, and proceed with projects to inherit the spirit of Samrye Integration.”
