[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 8th at 10:20 a.m., Jinju City in Gyeongnam held a meeting and appointed members of the Child Welfare Deliberation Committee in the Cultural Lecture Room of City Hall.

The city reflected the amendments to the "Ordinance on the Composition and Operation of the Jinju City Child Welfare Deliberation Committee" and additionally appointed five field experts with extensive experience and insight in child welfare projects as committee members.
