[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Metropolitan Council (Chairman Kim Yong-jip) announced on the 11th that it has signed a business agreement to support 'sign language interpretation services' with the Gwangju Metropolitan Disabled Comprehensive Welfare Center (Director Kim Mi-ran).

During the Gwangju City Council policy debate meetings, which serve as a communication channel to collect various opinions from citizens and reflect them in policies, 'sign language interpretation services' will be provided during live broadcasts on the website or YouTube. This service aims to guarantee the right to know for hearing and speech-impaired individuals who had difficulties watching the broadcasts and to expand opportunities for participation and communication through this business agreement.

Through this business agreement, it is expected that the sharing of legislative activity information and the expansion of social participation activities for people with disabilities will improve their quality of life and contribute to the enhancement of policy debate meetings.

Director Kim Mi-ran said, "Starting with sign language interpretation at the Gwangju City Council policy debates, I hope that social consideration for the hearing impaired will be further expanded," and added, "I hope that this business agreement will serve as an opportunity to improve awareness of people with disabilities and expand their participation in social activities."

Chairman Kim Yong-jip emphasized, "The signing of this business agreement for sign language interpretation services is the first step to actively respond to social and contemporary changes such as interest and consideration for the hearing impaired, job creation, and social participation of people with disabilities," and stated, "The Gwangju City Council will continue to evolve to expand a dense social welfare network and protect the rights and interests of people with disabilities."
