On September 2, Gwangju City officially launched the 'Gwangju Future Strategy Task Force (TF)' and began full-scale activities to implement regional pledges and national policy tasks included in the five-year state administration plan of the Lee Jaemyung administration.
The 'Future Strategy Task Force (TF)' is headed by Deputy Mayor of Culture and Economy Kim Youngmoon, and is composed of private sector experts from various fields and five subcommittees for each pledge area. The team is responsible for addressing local issues and advancing related initiatives.
Previously, Mayor Kang Gijung announced at a press conference on August 13 that the 'Presidential Election Pledge Seoul Situation Room,' which had been operated to ensure the inclusion of presidential election pledges in national policy tasks, would be reorganized into the 'Gwangju Future Strategy Task Force (TF)' as a result of the successful reflection of regional pledges in the Lee Jaemyung administration's five-year state administration plan.
By the end of last month, the city had thoroughly analyzed the five-year state administration plan, identified 15 regional pledge implementation tasks, and discovered new projects that could be linked to national policies. Through the 'Gwangju Future Strategy Task Force (TF),' the city plans to strengthen its ability to execute these initiatives.
At the first meeting held on this day, the following topics were discussed: a review of the status of regional pledge national policy tasks, examination of implementation plans, establishment of a collaborative system between the Local Era Committee, central government ministries, and local governments, strategies for gathering and cooperating with citizen and community input, and the future direction of the task force's operations.
Going forward, the city plans to expand its cooperation network with National Assembly members, private sector experts, and the local community to enhance communication with the central government and jointly address institutional and financial challenges that may arise during the implementation of national policy tasks.
Kim Youngmoon, Deputy Mayor of Culture and Economy, emphasized, "The implementation of regional pledges reflected in national policy tasks requires close cooperation among the central government, the National Assembly, experts, and citizens. Through the operation of this task force, we will secure future growth engines for Gwangju and move forward as a central axis of balanced development in South Korea."
