They also exchanged opinions on the direction and goals for the new year and offered well-wishes.
In his greeting, Chairman Im Jong-hoon said, “I am grateful to my fellow council members and all public officials, including Mayor Baek Young-hyun, who did their best in their respective positions during the eventful past year.” He added, “In the new year, I hope Pocheon City will develop further as everyone continues to do their best in their assigned roles.”
He continued, “I have set the legislative direction for 2025 as ‘communication,’ and I will do my utmost for the leap forward and development of Pocheon City and the well-being of its citizens by actively communicating with citizens, fellow council members, and the executive branch.”
Mayor Baek Young-hyun responded, “This year, I will work to create a forward-moving Pocheon City through more communication with the council members.”
