[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] From the first month of his inauguration, Hong Taeyong, mayor of Gimhae City, Gyeongnam, who embarked on a tour of eup, myeon, and dong under the theme of ‘First Meeting with Residents,’ will hold a ‘Local Issues Resident Opinion Listening Session’ starting from the 13th.

Mayor Hong plans to meet with resident representatives of eup, myeon, and dong through the listening sessions until the 22nd, hear residents’ opinions and suggestions on local issues and long-standing projects by each eup, myeon, and dong, and discuss solutions.

The city plans to reflect matters requiring financial investment in the budget based on the discussion results of the listening sessions. To quickly complete the collection of residents’ opinions before the next year’s budget formulation, the 19 eup, myeon, and dong will be grouped by region, and a total of eight listening sessions will be held, starting with Jinyeong-eup and Hallim-myeon.

The listening sessions will be attended by the chairpersons of resident autonomy committees of each eup, myeon, and dong, heads of villages and neighborhoods, representatives of social and self-governing organizations, and provincial and city council members representing residents.

Mayor Hong said, “While the first meeting with residents was an opportunity to explain the direction of the 8th term of the elected administration, this listening session is a place to hear local issues and long-standing wishes by eup, myeon, and dong and to reflect them in the budget if necessary. We will do our best to realize a hopeful administration that fulfills the dreams and wishes that citizens desire one by one.”
