Three Major Pledges for Pohang Region, Swiftly Reflected in New Government Policies

Pohang City Holds Expanded Executive Meeting on the 18th to Fully Discuss Reflecting President-Elect Yoon's Regional Pledge Policies.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City, Gyeongbuk, has launched an all-out effort to promptly reflect regional pledges in government policies in line with the launch of the new government transition committee.

Mayor Kang-deok Lee ordered at the expanded executive meeting held on the 18th, “Based on the election pledges of the 20th President-elect, we will concentrate all administrative power to ensure that regional pledges and pending projects are reflected in policies in line with the launch of the new government.”

At the meeting, they sought response measures for future schedules by analyzing the major pledges and policy directions of the next government. In particular, they discussed ways to reflect in national tasks the promises made by President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol during his visit to Pohang as a candidate, including ▲ construction of the East Coast Bridge (Yeongilman crossing section) ▲ establishment of Pohang as a bio-healthcare hub city ▲ Pohang-POSCO win-win (implementation of the POSCO Holdings agreement).

The city decided to thoroughly respond in advance by identifying government promotion directions and city-linked projects to secure the People Power Party’s 10 policy pledge projects in the 20th presidential election, and also to devote efforts to preparing for the selection of various public contest projects, special zone projects, and the attraction of public institutions.

Along with this, with the launch of the transition committee on the 18th, the city expressed its determination to mobilize all administrative power by closely communicating with Gyeongbuk Province, local political circles, and citizens to propose regional pledges and pending issues and visit related ministries.

Mayor Lee said, “Once the government ministries’ transition committee work reports begin, prompt responses will give momentum to new industries such as the POSTECH research-oriented medical school, battery, bio, and hydrogen industries, which the city is focusing on promoting. We will do our utmost to ensure that the pledges presented by the President-elect for Pohang’s development and the region’s major pending issues are definitely reflected in the new government’s national agenda.”
