[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the morning of the 15th, the Hapcheon County Council in Gyeongnam held a meeting in the council members' briefing room, inviting former chairpersons of the Hapcheon County Council to look back on the 30-year history of local autonomy and to explore future development directions.

At the meeting, Heo Jae-wook, the 2nd term first half chairperson, seven former chairpersons, County Governor Moon Jun-hee, and Chairperson Bae Mong-hee attended. After watching a video on the 30th anniversary history and the current 8th council's legislative activities, they discussed the future direction of the local council.

In particular, the former chairpersons conveyed local public opinion on various ongoing county administrative issues and urged everyone to do their best to help the county administration develop.

Chairperson Bae said, “With the development of democracy, the heightened expectations and demands of the county residents, and the revision of the Local Autonomy Act strengthening the independence and transparency of local councils, I hope this meeting will serve as an opportunity for the elders of the region who directly built the history of the local council to share their experience and wisdom, thereby promoting the future development of the county and harmony among the residents.”
