[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] The Muan County Council in Jeollanam-do (Chairman Kim Dae-hyun) announced on the 21st that it will hold a 30th anniversary ceremony on the 29th to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the revival of local councils.

This ceremony was prepared to look back on the footsteps so far on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Muan County Council, to reflect on its meaning, and to pledge a new leap forward in preparation for the era of Local Autonomy 2.0.

Following the flow of local autonomy history in Korea, the county council was dissolved by the military government in 1961, and with the revival of local autonomy in 1991, the 1st county council composed of nine county council members was opened on April 15 of the same year, marking its 30th anniversary this year.

The ceremony is scheduled to be attended by current and former council members, the county governor, members of the National Assembly, and heads of major social organizations, and will proceed in the order of watching a commemorative video, awarding commendations to contributors to council development, commemorative speeches and congratulatory speeches, and a rice cake cake cutting.

Chairman Kim Dae-hyun said, “Our council has continued efforts for change and innovation even under an institutional foundation that was not yet fully established,” and added, “Through this 30th anniversary ceremony, we want to reaffirm our new determination to realize local autonomy centered on the residents.”

Meanwhile, the ceremony will be held simply with minimal attendance and scale to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
