Additionally, Jeong Yong-seon, Chief of Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency, participated in the meeting and urged cooperation in the "Anmaekkyeo-so" traffic safety campaign, a key traffic policy initiative of the Gyeonggi Provincial Police this year, and outlined the police's public order policy direction for Gyeonggi Province.

During the agenda review that followed, decisions were made on the council's submitted agenda items and nine common proposals submitted by each municipal and county government, including "institutionalization of regular discussion forums between the province and municipalities/counties" regarding in-depth discussions on the processing results of municipal and county proposals.

The 10 agenda items passed at the council meeting will be referred to Gyeonggi Province and central government ministries for improvement based on discussions held, and the next 8th meeting will be held in Bucheon.
