Suwon Autonomous Decentralization Council Holds First Regular Meeting of 2023

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] The Suwon Autonomous Decentralization Council held its "First Regular Meeting of 2023" on the 28th at the Suwon City Hall conference room.

At the meeting, Lee Won-hee, President of Hankyong National University, was elected as the fifth-term chairperson, and 10 newly appointed members were appointed. The council has a total of 28 members.

The meeting was attended by Hwang In-guk, Vice Mayor of Suwon, Chairperson Lee Won-hee, and members of the Autonomous Decentralization Council, who discussed ways to promote autonomous decentralization.

Council members said, "It seems that citizens do not know much about autonomous decentralization," and "There is a need to promote autonomous decentralization at Suwon City-sponsored events and festivals so that citizens can easily understand it."

Opinions also emerged that the council should visit organizations and institutions to introduce autonomous decentralization and establish an "autonomous decentralization network."

Chairperson Lee Won-hee said, "To realize autonomous decentralization, I will create conditions for citizens to speak up independently and as the main subjects."

Vice Mayor Hwang In-guk said, "The Suwon Autonomous Decentralization Council has made great efforts to spread autonomous decentralization in the local community," and asked "Please work so that the status of Suwon's autonomous decentralization and community autonomy can be elevated further."
