The city plans to promptly implement pledges that can be immediately pursued and include budgets necessary for planning in the second supplementary budget, while pledges to be realized within the term and long-term pledges will be sequentially reflected in the main budget for implementation.

Efforts will also be focused on securing national funds for the pledges by linking them with the 120 national tasks of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and Gyeongbuk Province projects.

Based on the results of the pledge report meeting, incomplete parts of the pledges will be supplemented, and the Korean Manifesto Practice Headquarters will be requested to operate a resident jury system to finalize the pledge implementation plan in December this year.

Mayor Kwon Ki-chang urged, “We will first promote pledges that can be done immediately and further enhance completeness through the creation of various ideas and work studies for the realization of the pledges.”
