Cross-Regional Cooperation... Busan City Holds Relay Issue Consultation Meeting with Ruling and Opposition Party Lawmakers' Offices

Busan City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Starting from the 10th, Busan City will invite the staff of local district National Assembly members to City Hall for two weeks, holding relay meetings by each member's office to discuss major local issues in Busan.

The meetings reflect Mayor Park Hyung-jun's commitment to cooperation under the motto "There is no ruling or opposition party in front of Busan's development."

Busan City stated, "The significance lies in expanding the scope of cooperative governance of Busan's administration to the National Assembly through these meetings, thereby realizing an upgraded level of cooperation."

Since May last year, Busan City has operated a cooperative council with the Busan Metropolitan Council, the Democratic Party of Korea, the People Power Party Busan branch, and Busan City to set directions for long-term stalled local issues and jointly respond to major challenges.

Through these meetings, Busan City plans to share and discuss the interests of local district National Assembly members and regional issues, aligning efforts with the National Assembly. They also plan to maximize the synergy effect for regional development, including budget procurement.

Instead of communicating individually with the National Assembly during the annual national budget formulation period as before, this year the meetings will discuss ensuring that key projects are definitely promoted.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun of Busan said, "We will realize practical cooperation that produces results, not just cooperation in words, and create change in Busan through cooperation that transcends ruling and opposition parties as well as political camps."
