New Year's Message Pyeongtaek Mayor Jung Jang-seon

Dear Citizens of Pyeongtaek and Public Officials,

A new year has dawned in 2025, the year of the Wood Snake (乙巳年).

As we welcome the "Year of the Blue Snake," which symbolizes wisdom, regeneration, growth and change, Pyeongtaek stands at an important turning point for new leaps forward and transformation.

I sincerely hope that this special year will be one of hope and growth for you all and become a stepping stone for greater development for Pyeongtaek.

Although the economic situation is expected to remain difficult due to both domestic and international circumstances this year, Pyeongtaek possesses strong potential to turn crisis into opportunity.

I will work to open new paths of challenge and create a 2025 filled with hope and progress by joining forces with all citizens.

Throughout the new year, all public officials including myself will carefully observe your daily lives and livelihoods, draw closer to communicate with you, and work diligently toward a better future for Pyeongtaek.

I sincerely wish you a prosperous new year in 2025 and hope that health and happiness will abound in your families.

Thank you.
