Seoul's Dongjak-gu agreed to work with the Democratic Party of Korea's local committees to secure national and Seoul city funds for key local projects.

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Ryu Sam-young) said on November 3 that it had held its first government-party consultation meeting of the ninth popularly elected administration with the Democratic Party's Dongjak Gap and Eul local committees in the main conference room at the district office on November 2.


The consultations were held first with the Dongjak Gap committee in the morning and then with the Dongjak Eul committee around lunchtime. A total of 42 people attended, including Mayor Ryu, who is also acting chair of the Dongjak Gap local committee; Choi Ki-il, acting chair of the Dongjak Eul local committee; city and district council members; party officials; and district office staff.


In Dongjak Gap, participants discussed building Hangang Tower near Yongyangbongjeojeong, developing the site of the former Noryangjin office, and creating public-use facilities at the Korea Meteorological Administration's Seoul headquarters. In Dongjak Eul, they discussed building a public parking lot at Heukseok bus depot, establishing a comprehensive youth education center, and developing a Han River waterfront attraction.


Participants discussed ways to secure the national and Seoul city funds needed to carry out the projects and agreed to coordinate their efforts in future talks with central government agencies and the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The district plans to hold the government-party consultation meetings regularly.


On November 3, the district will hold a policy consultation meeting with the People Power Party's Dongjak Eul party members' council.



Mayor Ryu Sam-young said, "Close communication and cooperation between the party and the government are essential to successfully advance long-awaited local projects and bring about changes that residents can feel. Building on our strong cooperative framework, we will continue to secure budgets, including national and Seoul city funds, and carry out key projects for the district's development without disruption."
