The Ministry of the Interior and Safety and local governments have strengthened measures to promote policies at the public's level by sharing cases such as 'Chungju-si YouTube.'


On the 19th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that Minister Lee Sang-min presided over this year's first Central-Local Policy Council held at Gangneung City Hall, attended by deputy heads of 17 cities and provinces.


At this meeting, the Ministry and local governments discussed problem-solving collaboration and policy promotion methods that the public can tangibly feel.

First, to promote problem-solving collaboration, the government decided to expand the exemption system for proactive public officials and continuously support them through evaluations and awards. The operation of the 'Proactive Administration Exemption Protection Officer' system, which provides audit exemption counseling support for proactive public officials, will be expanded, and achievements in problem-solving collaboration will be reflected in this year's comprehensive proactive administration evaluation indicators.


Additionally, cases such as Chungcheongbuk-do Chungju-si's 'ChungTV,' Ulsan City's 'Public-Private Personnel Exchange,' and Gyeonggi Suwon-si's 'Beta-rang Public Officials' system were shared as examples of breaking down administrative silos in local governments and promoting policy publicity at the public's level.


Furthermore, at the meeting, it was decided to establish implementation plans by local governments for the Lunar New Year livelihood safety measures announced by the government on the 16th.


Minister Lee said, "Many new policies that directly help the public will be promoted this year, and above all, the most important thing is to execute policies swiftly," adding, "Let the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the 17 cities and provinces do their best so that the public can feel the changes."



Meanwhile, after the Central-Local Policy Council, Minister Lee and the deputy heads of the 17 cities and provinces attended the opening ceremony of the Winter Youth Olympic Games held in Gangneung to cheer for its successful hosting.
