On the 31st, Pohang City held the '8th Term Elected Mayor's Pledge and Current Project Review Meeting' in the city hall's main conference room.

This meeting was organized under the special directive of Mayor Lee Kang-deok to ensure the smooth implementation of pledge projects promised to citizens and to review major current issues. Presided over by Vice Mayor Kim Nam-il, about 100 participants including heads of departments and divisions attended to inspect unfinished pledges and key issues by department and seek solutions.

As of the end of May, the city is smoothly advancing 71 out of 83 total pledge projects, including the construction of the International Exhibition and Convention Center, the creation of Homibando National Marine Garden, and the construction of Yeongilman Bridge.

Additionally, Pohang City plans to prioritize administrative efforts on projects directly related to citizen safety in preparation for summer heavy rains and typhoons, such as ▲the construction of Ocheon Hangsa Dam ▲maintenance of Hyeongsan River as a national river ▲improvement and restoration of local rivers ▲installation of disaster monitoring facilities on bridge structures.

For 12 projects requiring cooperation with related agencies and companies, including attracting a luxury hotel, despite the difficult domestic and international economic conditions such as the economic downturn, the city intends to actively attract investment and secure national funding to carry out the projects without delay within the deadline.

Mayor Lee Kang-deok stated, “Since these are precious promises to our citizens, I will do my best together with about 2,000 public officials to achieve the pledge goals,” and urged, “For urgent projects, please approach your work with proactive determination beyond existing formats and procedures.”

In April, Pohang City received the highest grade (SA) in the 8th Term Elected Mayor’s Pledge Evaluation, being selected as the best institution for three consecutive years. With this positive evaluation, the city plans to focus its administrative capabilities on providing citizen-centered administrative services that make daily life happy by successfully implementing all pledges within the 8th term.
