Changwon Mayor Heo Seong-mu: "The Organized Power and Communication of Citizens Will Accelerate the Success of the Special City"

Changwon Special City Citizens' Council Plaque Unveiling Ceremony Held

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Changwon Special City Citizens' Council held a plaque unveiling ceremony on the 4th, attended by Mayor Heo Seong-mu of Changwon, Chairman Kang In-ho, and council members.

The Changwon Special City Citizens' Council was founded with the gathering of about 200 members, including district regional chairpersons, functional division chairpersons, and eup/myeon/dong chairpersons, starting with the inaugural meeting on December 22 last year.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu, who attended the plaque unveiling ceremony, expressed special gratitude, saying, "I appreciate the intention to create the Changwon Special City Citizens' Council to contribute to the promotion of the special city status for the development of city administration. The organized power and support of the citizens can accelerate the success of the special city, so the activities of the members are very reassuring and appreciated as a mayor."

Chairman Kang In-ho said, "Although the bill passed last year allowing the use of the administrative title 'special city,' there is currently no authority that citizens can feel. If necessary, we will seek ways to unite with the citizens' councils of Goyang, Suwon, and Yongin to convey the aspirations of the four special city citizens to the government and the National Assembly."

The council plans to continuously demand appropriate authority for the special city from the government and the National Assembly and will support the launch of the special city next year by gathering opinions from various social groups.
