[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Andong City, Gyeongbuk Province, announced on the 16th that it held the inauguration ceremony of the Village Welfare Plan Promotion Team at Okdong Administrative Welfare Center (Director Jang Ui-han) on the 15th and presented appointment letters to 50 promotion committee members.

The Village Welfare Plan Promotion Team was composed of 50 members selected through interviews conducted among applicants gathered via open recruitment. Residents from various age groups and occupations, ranging from their 30s to 80s, were included.

The newly formed promotion team will serve as village leaders for future cooperation and solidarity between the public and private sectors. They will identify village issues and seek solutions through continuous collection of residents' opinions to implement village welfare created by the residents themselves.

Park Mu-ju, the head of the promotion team, said, "Since this is the first attempt at a village welfare plan, many difficulties are expected, but by making good use of Okdong's village characteristics and strengths and fostering a sense of community through communication and public discussion among residents, a sense of ownership will be restored."

Jang Ui-han, director of Okdong, stated, "I believe village welfare will come alive when residents take an interest in welfare tasks and participate passionately," adding, "I hope that this inauguration ceremony will be an opportunity for residents and the village to grow together."
