Enforcement of Revised Korea Coast Guard Charter After 22 Years... Emphasizing Public Service Values and Commitment to Action

Korea Coast Guard

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Korea Coast Guard announced on the 5th that it will revise and implement a new Coast Guard Charter this year.

The Coast Guard Charter was established in 1998 but has become almost obsolete over time.

Accordingly, the charter has been newly revised to emphasize the ideology and spirit of the Coast Guard and to reflect the changing times and public expectations, encompassing not only the present but also future generations.

While the previous charter emphasized the sense of mission as the Coast Guard, the revised charter stresses the correct public service values and the will to practice them as public officials and Coast Guard members.

The full text of the charter specifies the fundamental attitude of public servants who dedicate themselves to the nation and serve the people, as well as the duties and roles of the Coast Guard.

The main text presents four practical goals that Coast Guard members must uphold, reflecting the organization's unique characteristics: 'Guardians of the Sea,' 'Realizers of Justice,' 'Servants of the People,' and 'Experts of the Maritime.'

A Korea Coast Guard official stated, "This revision of the charter is a promise to the public of the Coast Guard's change and commitment to action," adding, "All members will deeply internalize the meaning of the charter and actively practice it to become a Coast Guard trusted by the people."
