[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-seong] Gwangmyeong City held an appointment ceremony for the '9th Elected Term Government Innovation Planning Group' at the city hall conference room on the 23rd and proceeded with establishing policy goals and core strategies for the 9th elected term and selecting administrative tasks.

The planning group, led by Lee Jae-jeong, former Minister of Unification (former Gyeonggi Province Superintendent of Education) as chair, consists of 15 planning committee members divided into △Warm Economy Division (livelihood) △Citizen Sovereignty Division (solidarity) △Peace and Future Division (peace) and will intensively discuss policy tasks in each field.

Furthermore, former National Assembly Members Baek Jae-hyun and Won Hye-young, former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Doo-gwan, and former Incheon Nam-gu District Chief Park Woo-seop—figures who have led local autonomy and decentralization development over the past 30 years—participate as advisory panel members.

Additionally, an advisory group composed of 25 experts from various fields including policy, local finance, urban development, transportation, and livelihood economy will handle professional policy reviews and recommendations to enhance the completeness of the 9th term policies.

The planning group will comprehensively review a total of 226 projects including 114 campaign pledges and 112 citizen-proposed policies by July 20th. Based on this, the planning group will concretize the 9th term policy vision and goals and establish a '4-Year Government Operation Plan' containing year-by-year implementation plans.

The final plan will be confirmed after departmental task briefings and pledge reviews, and will be disclosed to citizens at the 'Citizen Report on 9th Elected Term Administrative Tasks and Pledges' to be held on July 22nd.

Mayor Park Seung-won said, "As Gwangmyeong City's first three-term mayor, I will make the achievements accumulated over eight years of the 7th and 8th terms blossom even more greatly in the lives of citizens during the 9th term," and "I will create Gwangmyeong where everyone eats well and lives well, Gwangmyeong with abundant jobs, and Gwangmyeong that is a capable city leading 100 years into the future."

He further urged, "Since the government innovation planning group is a core organization designing the blueprint for the 9th term, please prepare concrete plans containing tangible changes and innovation that citizens can feel."

Meanwhile, the government innovation planning group plans to accept additional citizen proposals through the Gwangmyeong City Hall website (gm.go.kr) and each dong administrative welfare center until July 2nd and reflect them in city operations.
