Meanwhile, the city is promoting various integrity policies under the vision of realizing a transparent Naju through communication and empathy, such as the 'Departmental Policy Discovery and Promotion Report Meeting to Improve Integrity,' 'Integrity Tour Meetings with Participation of All Employees,' and 'Sharing Integrity Empathy Messages with Departments.'
