Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok to Operate the '8th Term Vision and Pledge Committee'

Establishing Milling Vision and Reviewing Measures to Fulfill Pledges

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, is establishing and operating the ‘8th Term Vision and Pledge Committee’ to open the ‘Great Leap Jeonnam Happiness Era.’

Instead of setting up a transition committee following his re-election for the 8th term, this is to prepare the vision for provincial administration and review the implementation plans of pledges.

The 8th Term Vision and Pledge Committee aims to carefully collect the valuable voices heard from residents during the election period on-site and use them as the foundation for regional development.

The committee will prepare the vision for the 8th term provincial administration and comprehensively review the implementation plans of pledges. Projects not included in the pledges but deemed necessary will also be thoroughly discussed and included as policy tasks.

The committee is composed of about 30 members across four divisions: ▲Safety, Environment, Welfare ▲Jobs, Industry, Energy ▲Agriculture and Fisheries ▲Tourism and Culture.

Co-chairpersons are Choi Il, President of Dongshin University; Park Min-seo, President of Mokpo National University; Go Young-jin, President of Suncheon National University; and Park Myung-sung, Artistic Director of Shinsi Company, all recognized for their insight and prestige. Members include academics, social organizations, field experts, and youth representatives.

Provincial department heads and executives will actively participate and communicate within each committee division. The plan is to ensure that the discussed matters are implemented without fail.

Additionally, on-site forums will be held in four regions: Eastern Jeonnam, Southwestern Jeonnam, Central-Southern Jeonnam, and the Gwangju metropolitan area, to fully collect residents’ valuable opinions and policy ideas.

The committee will operate for one month. The results will be compiled and organized for the ‘8th Term Vision, Pledge, and Policy Task Public Report Meeting.’

Governor Kim said, “I expect the Vision and Pledge Committee to effectively gather opinions from all sectors of residents and excellently perform the role of a messenger by reflecting the alternatives proposed at the private level into provincial policy tasks. The 8th term is a period to prepare Jeonnam’s future vision and create the ‘Great Leap Jeonnam Happiness Era,’ leading an era where Jeonnam drives balanced regional development.”

He added, “I will communicate with residents on-site and become a governor who empowers each and every resident.”
