Work Instructions at Executive Meeting

Establishment of University Policy Bureau Next Year

On the 26th, Hong Jun-pyo, Mayor of Daegu, held the year's final executive meeting in the large conference room of the Sangeok Government Complex in Daegu. He received reports from each department on this year's achievements, next year's directions, and pressing issues, encouraged their efforts so far, and pledged a new start for 2024.

Mayor Hong instructed the Airport Construction Team, saying, "Separately constructing the military airport and the civilian airport will require a lot of time and cost," and added, "Coordinate with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to have Daegu City delegated the tasks related to the civilian airport and promote a plan to build the military and civilian airports in an integrated manner."

Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo is giving work instructions at an executive meeting.

To the Daegu City Youth and Women Education Bureau, he said, "The extinction of local universities is a serious nationwide phenomenon, but no local government is properly preparing for it," and ordered, "Starting in 2024, establish the first-ever separate bureau-level University Policy Bureau nationwide to actively prepare for fostering local universities."

After receiving the report on the '2024 Daegu Marathon Event Plan' from the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, he urged, "Since the Daegu Marathon has been held as a 'Gold Label' event starting this year, please make every effort to elevate it to a 'Platinum Label' in the future."

After hearing the Daegu City Economic Bureau's report on the 'Reorganization of the Agricultural, Fisheries, and Livestock Products Operation System,' Mayor Hong emphasized, "It is necessary to break the ties of collusion through bold personnel reforms at the agricultural and fisheries wholesale markets and slaughterhouses," and stressed, "Be thorough in transforming into the nation's first Agricultural and Fisheries Distribution Management Corporation and innovating management by closing slaughterhouses."

To the One-Stop Corporate Investment Center, he said, "When attracting companies, if the method is shifted to selling circular plots, it will be advantageous not only for the companies but also facilitate investment attraction and shorten the period," and instructed, "Actively promote circular plot sales in Gunwi County, which is being developed as Air City."

Additionally, Mayor Hong ordered, "Complete the review by the Nakdong River Basin Water Management Committee and the selection of preliminary feasibility study projects by April next year to ensure the early inclusion of the 'Clean Water Highway Project' in the national plan," and "Thoroughly manage safety for large crowds during year-end and New Year's Eve bell-ringing events, sunrise events, and devote full efforts to wildfire prevention."

Finally, Mayor Hong said, "Looking back over the year, there were many difficulties, but because everyone worked together to prepare for Daegu's next 50 years, we were able to achieve great results," and urged, "Finish this year well and thoroughly manage and promote the tasks to be done next year."
