Icheon Mayor Kim Gyeong-hui Launches "2026 Dialogue with Residents"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Icheon City has launched full-scale on-site communication efforts to draw up a regional development blueprint with citizens as it welcomes 2026.

The city will hold the '2026 Dialogue with Residents,' sequentially visiting 14 eup, myeon and dong neighborhoods over 14 days starting with Yul-myeon on the 20th.

This residents' discussion forum has been organized to directly share the city administration's operational direction with citizens and carefully review major requests from the field.

With the aim to minimize unnecessary procedures and focus on practical communication, conventional event-style programs such as pre-forum performances are omitted, instead featuring a briefing on the 2026 city administration operational direction, feedback on suggestions from the 8th civilian-elected administration, and a time for listening to residents' opinions.

In particular, this dialogue with residents will center on major requests that have been gathered in advance to enhance administrative efficiency.

The city plans to identify regional issues and residents' demands in advance, explain specific action plans and progress in detail, and focus on seeking substantive solutions.

Meanwhile, the city will conduct immediate review by operational departments on the advance suggestions discussed in this dialogue and additional issues raised.

Mayor Kim Gyeong-hui stated, "The purpose of this tour visit is to implement projects promised to citizens without delay and swiftly resolve key issues in the region," adding "I will take the precious opinions submitted in advance as policy milestones and create changes that residents can truly feel."
