The leadership of Seongnam City Council (Chairman Kang Sang-tae) held a luncheon meeting with Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin on the 20th to exchange views on strengthening mutual cooperation and communication between the council and the executive branch.


This meeting was the first official encounter between the leadership of the 10th Seongnam City Council and the mayor since the inauguration of the new council. It was organized to share a citizen-centered direction for both city administration and legislative activities, and to establish a governance system based on trust.


Attendees included Chairman Kang Sang-tae, Vice Chairman Jeong Yeon-hwa, Choi Jong-seong from the Democratic Party of Korea, Lee Sang-ho from the People Power Party, Kim Bo-seok, Chair of the Administration and Education Committee, Ahn Gwang-hwan, Chair of the Economic and Environmental Committee, Yoon Hye-seon, Chair of the Culture and Welfare Committee, Park Gi-beom, Chair of the Urban Construction Committee, and Min Young-mi, Chair of the Special Ethics Committee.


Chairman Kang emphasized, "The council and the executive branch are partners working together for the citizens," adding, "Mutual respect and smooth communication are more important than anything else."


He went on to say, "If the executive branch respects the council and communicates closely, the council will be able to actively cooperate and support policies and budgets aimed at improving citizens' quality of life and promoting local development."


However, he made it clear that the council would also faithfully fulfill its fundamental role of providing oversight and checks.


Chairman Kang stated, "Oversight and checks by the council are important responsibilities entrusted to us by the citizens. For issues that require criticism and examination, the council will responsibly carry out its role and functions of providing oversight."



He added, "When the council and the executive branch respect and trust each other and cooperate on this basis, we will be able to achieve even greater outcomes in making Seongnam a happier city for its citizens."
