[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Park Hongryul, former mayor of Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 6th that he urged public officials to "strive for the realization and substantialization of the 8th term election pledges."

Mayor Park presided over the July municipal affairs meeting on the 5th and emphasized this.

The municipal affairs meeting is held at the beginning of every month with all senior officials of Mokpo City attending to share each department's monthly implementation plans. This meeting was the first since the launch of the 8th term.

Each department head presented major pending projects for July along with key work plans for the 8th term, renewing their determination.

Mayor Park said, "I ask all employees to devote their full efforts to revitalizing the local economy and making the city a vibrant, youthful place where young people return."

He continued, "For the promotion of election pledges, administrative procedures and securing budgets are important. Please make sure to revise and supplement until the pledges are finally confirmed to ensure their realization and substantialization."

He also stressed, "We must make every effort until the end to have pending projects reflected in next year's government budget proposal."

Along with this, he added, "We need to focus on managing heatwave response facilities such as cooling shelters and shade structures, and strengthen monitoring of vulnerable groups like elderly living alone. We must also thoroughly conduct pre-inspections of sewage systems, stormwater facilities, and steep slopes to prepare for typhoons and heavy rains."
