Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon, Wraps Up Citizen Communication 'Soda Talk'

Listening to Challenges of Businesses and Citizens at 10 Locations Over 5 Months
Mayor Kim: "I Will Remember and Act on Everyone's Words"

Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon, concluded the 'Cider Talk' that was held over five months.

'Cider Talk' was an event initiated by Mayor Kim to personally meet with local businesses and citizens. It consisted of a 'public-private cooperation meeting' to listen to and resolve the difficulties faced by Icheon’s local companies and social organizations amid the prolonged economic downturn in Gyeonggi Province, and an 'on-site mayor’s office' to hear public opinion from citizens.

Starting in March with visits to the cosmetics manufacturer Happy L&B and Bubal-eup Administrative Welfare Center, Mayor Kim held ten sessions of the Cider Talk. For the final event, on the 25th, she visited Vitesco Technology Korea located in Saeum-dong and then listened to citizens’ opinions at the Gwango-dong Administrative Welfare Center.

Mayor Kim stated, “I will deeply remember and put into practice the valuable words of everyone I have met through the Cider Talk so far.”

A city official explained, "Although the Cider Talk has ended, we plan to continue communicating to meet more citizens and create a more developed Icheon."
