[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will form a 'Task Force (TF) for Establishing a Pledge Implementation Plan' on the 22nd in line with the publication of a white paper containing the province's policy directions. The province also plans to finalize the pledges through a citizen jury and then announce them to the residents.

Gyeonggi Province announced that the Gyeonggi Province Governor Transition Committee for the 8th term delivered a white paper containing the policy directions and results of the transition committee's activities to Governor Kim Dong-yeon on the same day.

The Transition Committee's White Paper Publication Committee, responsible for compiling the white paper, named it "Gyeonggi Province is the Future" to reflect the vision and aspirations of Gyeonggi Province's administration.

The white paper is divided into four parts: ▲ Part 1 "Choosing Change" covers Governor Kim Dong-yeon's candidacy, election, and formation of the transition committee ▲ Part 2 "Shaking Up the Status Quo" covers the administrative vision and core tasks ▲ Part 3 "Listening and Joining Hands" covers communication and cooperation ▲ Part 4 "Opening a New Chapter." The appendix includes a comprehensive report on the transition committee's activities and public opinion surveys.

The Publication Committee explained that this white paper goes beyond a simple listing of transition committee activities by including the process of organizing pledges to keep promises to residents and proposals at the transition committee level. They also emphasized that the structure was designed to be easy for residents to read and for public officials to reference relevant content.

Lee Young-joo, chairperson of the White Paper Publication Committee who oversaw the compilation, said, "We tried to compress the process of deliberation as much as possible rather than just providing answers in the white paper," adding, "I hope it becomes a living white paper that can be referenced in the 8th term administration rather than just a record."

Governor Kim Dong-yeon responded after receiving the white paper, saying, "The pledges have been well organized in the white paper, and the province will review budget issues and feasibility," and added, "We will form an Innovation Committee to check the progress of pledge implementation and strive to make it a compass for the four-year administration of the 8th term."

The province plans to distribute the white paper to transition committee members, the provincial council, and relevant departments for use in administration, and post it as an e-book in the Gyeonggi Provincial Administrative Library so that residents can access it anytime.

Furthermore, following Governor Kim Dong-yeon's directive to "implement pledges in a three-dimensional manner," the province plans to form a dedicated task force (TF) to establish an implementation plan prioritizing and scheduling the pledges according to Gyeonggi Province's circumstances. Subsequently, through departmental discussions at the provincial office and operation of a citizen jury, the pledges will be finalized and the implementation plan announced.

Meanwhile, the transition committee was launched on June 9 and operated until June 30. Through six plenary meetings and 361 consultations, it selected policy tasks and detailed pledges, formed an Emergency Economic Measures Committee, and actively responded to global economic crises such as inflation and the spread of COVID-19.
