On the 8th, Pohang City in Gyeongbuk held the ‘8th Civil Communication and Empathy Day’ event at Yeonil-eup Administrative Welfare Center.

About 120 people attended the event, including Mayor Lee Kang-deok of Pohang, city council members, local organization leaders, and residents.

During the event, policy briefings on development strategies and sustainable growth in key focus areas of Pohang City, such as ‘secondary batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and bio-health,’ were presented, followed by a resident communication meeting chaired by Mayor Lee Kang-deok.

At the meeting, attendees directly heard voices from the field regarding major local projects and issues of interest to the residents, such as the Taekjeoncheon small stream construction and the creation of a trail around Daljeon Reservoir, and had time to communicate various opinions.
