In preparation for the launch of the integrated special city on July 1 and Mayor-elect Min’s inauguration, the planning committee is organizing a mid-term briefing to explain major issues of public interest and the procedures to be followed in the future.

During the briefing, the committee plans to outline the main points of discussion so far, present policy proposals, and explain the upcoming decision-making process.

Key agenda items will include the establishment of a national medical school, the organization for supporting metropolitan administration in autonomous districts, and the procedures for determining the main city hall and its official address.

Particular attention is being paid to Mayor-elect Min’s policy of operating the three government buildings—in Gwangju (Gwangju City Hall), Muan (Jeonnam Provincial Government), and Suncheon (Jeonnam Eastern Office)—in a balanced manner, as well as to the operating method for the main city hall and the process for deciding its official address.

The planning committee stated that the official address of the integrated special city hall, which must be stipulated in the ordinance, has not yet been finalized.

The committee will continue its activities until July 20, after the launch of the integrated special city, and plans to compile a municipal policy plan and a municipal white paper.
