Mayor Kim Bo-ra of Anseong, "Completing a Prosperous Anseong Where People Live Together"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gab-dong] Anseong City held the '9th Civilian Government Launch Ceremony' on the 1st, sharing the region's new beginning and future vision with citizens.

The launch ceremony, held at the lawn plaza next to Ayang Library, proceeded in a comfortable and open atmosphere, replacing the existing formal inauguration. Citizens spread out mats on the grass and freely enjoyed performances and events while celebrating the meaningful start of the 9th civilian government.

The day featured pre-event performances by civic activity club AFO Anseong Flute Ensemble and Wind Orchestra, followed by the main launch ceremony, a 'Great Anseong' performance with Mayor Kim Bo-ra, members of the National Assembly, the City Council chairman, and the chairman of Anseong City Senior Citizens Association, and screening of video messages containing citizens' wishes.

In addition, congratulatory performances were held by regional art organizations including Anseong Jeollan Women's Chorus, Saxophone Association, Dankook Broadcasting Art College 'Second Breath', and Anseong Namsadang Baudegi Nongak Troupe.

Mayor Kim Bo-ra said in her launch address, "Rather than the title of being South Korea's first three-term female mayor, I will always be by the citizens' side as a mayor you are proud of by achieving Anseong's development," and added, "In the 9th civilian government, we will turn the city's potential into reality and write a new history for the region under the banners of Great Anseong, Confident Anseong Citizens, and a Prosperous Anseong Where People Live Together."

She further emphasized, "Together with citizens, who are the true owners of Anseong, I will do my best to ensure that the city becomes one where a social safety net that embraces everyone is built on the foundation of economic prosperity and ecological sustainability for future generations remains in balance."
