Sejong Submits "Completion of Administrative Capital" Proposal to National Planning Committee

Containing 44 National Policy Tasks for the Centennial Vision of the Administrative Capital

The city of Sejong announced on June 19 that it had submitted a "Policy Proposal for National Agenda" to the National Planning Committee, focusing on establishing Sejong's status as the administrative capital and strengthening its functions. This proposal was finalized on June 17, based on strategic directions discussed at the city's executive meeting to ensure the reflection of Sejong's priorities in the new government's national agenda.

The proposal presents a policy vision and implementation strategy for the future of South Korea and the long-term development of the administrative capital, encompassing a total of seven major areas and forty-four specific tasks.

The city identified tasks under the area of "Completion of the Administrative Capital for Balanced National Development," with a focus on fulfilling presidential campaign pledges to construct the National Assembly Sejong Building and the Presidential Sejong Office during the current term. The proposal centers on legally enshrining Sejong's status as the administrative capital, expanding the relocation of central administrative agencies and public institutions based on national administrative efficiency, and improving living conditions for employees of these relocated organizations. The city emphasized that this proposal represents an integrated vision for the country's future, extending beyond the interests of a specific region.

Mayor Choi Minho stated, "This proposal is not only for Sejong, but for improving the quality of life for all citizens and enhancing the nation's competitiveness. The completion of the administrative capital marks the starting point for South Korea's long-term development, and I hope the new government and the National Planning Committee will actively review this proposal."

In this regard, the city plans to operate a task force for reflecting its agenda in national policy, and will continue to consult and make recommendations to ensure the proposal is incorporated into the government's national agenda.
