Mayor Hong Jun-pyo: "Daegu-origin flights, considering expanding irregular routes to Johor Bahru, Ho Chi Minh, Qingdao, Chengdu"

Hong Jun-pyo, Mayor of Daegu, instructed at the executive meeting held on the 22nd in the large conference room of the Sangeok Building at Daegu City Hall, “Last year, Daegu City overcame the dishonor of receiving a 4th-grade rating in the integrity evaluation for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022, achieving a 2nd-grade rating. This year, do not be satisfied with the 2nd grade and make every effort to achieve the 1st grade.”

After receiving a report on the ‘Fire Prevention Measures for Industrial Complexes including Seongseo Industrial Complex’ from the Daegu Fire Safety Headquarters, Mayor Hong emphasized, “Industrial complexes vulnerable to fire, as well as traditional markets such as Seomun Market, Chilseong Market, and Seonam Market, still pose a risk of large-scale fires. Conduct proactive intensive safety inspections to ensure citizens can have a safe and enjoyable Lunar New Year holiday.”

After receiving a report from the Daegu Airport Construction Team on the ‘Promotion of Expansion of Daegu Airport Routes,’ Mayor Hong stated, “For the TK New Airport to operate stably from its opening, it is necessary to expand international routes at the current Daegu Airport. Actively consider ways to launch irregular routes to Johor Bahru, Ho Chi Minh City, Qingdao, and Sichuan Province’s Chengdu.”

After receiving a report from the Redevelopment Team on the ‘Follow-up Work for the Comprehensive Urban Space Development Plan of Gunwi County,’ regarding the comprehensive plan announced on January 11, he emphasized, “Thoroughly inspect the progress of each project and ensure meticulous follow-up work including coordination and support among projects.”

Following a report from the Daegu Economic Bureau on the ‘Promotion of Standardization and Unification of English Notation for Global City Daegu,’ Mayor Hong said, “The English notations for the new airport, five major new industries, Kyungpook National University, and others are inaccurate or mixed with various expressions. Thoroughly unify these English notations to prevent confusion among citizens.”

After the Integrity Committee’s report on ‘Achieving the Highest Grade in the 2023 Comprehensive Integrity Evaluation,’ he instructed, “It is a problematic phenomenon that internal integrity perception is lower than external integrity perception, so thoroughly analyze the causes. Also, establish countermeasures such as special integrity audits at any time to prevent corruption in advance, and establish an administrative system where all tasks can be carried out under the responsibility of department heads.”

Finally, Mayor Hong urged, “The Lunar New Year holiday is just 20 days away. Review and prepare across all areas of city administration in advance to ensure that citizens can spend a safe and happy holiday with their families.”
