[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-chul] The 'G0! One-Team' vision-sharing on-site meetings with cities and counties, conducted for about two months following the launch of the 8th elected Kim Jin-tae administration in Gangwon Province, revealed that requests for social infrastructure projects from central government departments were the most frequent.

Gangwon Province stated on the 14th, "Among the 63 agenda items requested by cities and counties, 45 items (71%) involved inclusion in central plans for regional development projects, related law amendments, attraction of public institutions, and central consultations on expressways and high-speed rail."

Issues for cooperation with the province and review items such as expansion of local roads accounted for a total of 18 items (29%). The province plans to continuously manage the progress of the 63 agenda items discussed during the on-site meetings with cities and counties.

The province completed the two-month, 18-city and county tour of the 'G0! One-Team' vision-sharing on-site meetings, which mark the beginning of the 8th elected administration's "New Gangwon Province! Special Autonomous Era!" starting from August 10 in Chuncheon City and Goseong County and concluding on October 12 in Pyeongchang County.

The governor's on-site meetings touring cities and counties were held for the first time in 12 years, aiming to establish a one-team cooperative system for the successful launch of Gangwon Special Autonomous Province in June next year, listen to and collect opinions on local issues by city and county, and share the vision of the new 8th elected Gangwon provincial government.

Governor Kim Jin-tae said, "It was very helpful to understand the circumstances of each city and county over the past two months," adding, "Just as there is no finger that does not hurt when bitten, all 18 cities and counties are precious, and we will prepare together as one team for the launch of the Special Autonomous Province in June next year."

Starting next year, the province plans to supplement and diversify the implementation method of the "City and County On-site Meetings" and regularly operate the "Visiting Gangwon Provincial Office."
