On the 27th, Gimpo City held a report meeting on the implementation plan for the 9th-term local government election pledges, during which the direction and execution plans for all 97 pledged projects were reviewed, the city announced on the 28th. This meeting was organized to establish a systematic foundation for implementing the pledges and to discuss project-by-project strategies.


In particular, the entire meeting—from each department’s report on their implementation plans to the mayor-led discussion—was broadcast live via the city’s official YouTube channel. This marks the first time that a pledge implementation plan report meeting has been made available to citizens in real time, and it is being recognized as a reflection of the city government’s commitment to enhancing administrative transparency and communication with residents.


On the day of the meeting, each department head explained the implementation plans for their respective pledges, while Mayor Lee reviewed the conditions and schedule for each project, as well as anticipated challenges and response strategies.


Mayor Lee stated, "Pledges are a solemn promise to our citizens and must be proven through action," adding, "For major projects that are directly related to citizens’ lives, such as the extension of Seoul Subway Line 5 and the West Area Metropolitan Rapid Transit, the objectives and execution plans must be even more concrete, and any difficulties encountered during implementation should be actively shared."


He continued, "It is a fundamental obligation to transparently disclose the beginning and process of pledge implementation to the public," emphasizing, "From planning to execution, please ensure that every pledge is implemented without delay at a level that matches citizens’ expectations, so that all pledges translate into outcomes that citizens can truly feel."


This report meeting is also scheduled to be broadcast on the LG HelloVision regional channel (channel 995) at 1:55 p.m. on the 30th.



Going forward, Gimpo City plans to make the confirmed pledges and concrete action plans public and to continue ongoing communication with citizens. In addition, monthly expanded executive meetings will also be broadcast live on the city's YouTube channel to continually share major municipal issues with citizens and to further expand transparent governance.
