Councils share regional issues and explore practical cooperation
Speaker Yoo Ji-ung vows to pursue joint development through closer communication
The Seocho-gu Council visited Yeongju City Council on Tuesday to discuss practical ways to expand exchanges between the two bodies and strengthen cooperation for the development of local self-governance.
The meeting was attended by Council Speaker Yoo Ji-ung, Deputy Speaker An Jong-suk, Administrative Committee Chair Kim Hae-ba-reun, Administrative Welfare Committee Chair Park Mi-jeong and Fiscal Construction Committee Chair Shin Jeong-tae. Yeongju City Council Speaker Lee Sang-geun and other council leaders also took part.
Participants shared expertise on administrative and legislative operations and explored avenues for practical policy exchange. They also discussed ways to boost cooperation in culture and tourism by leveraging each region's local resources. Talks focused particularly on expanding market access for locally produced agricultural and specialty goods and promoting direct trade between the two regions.
"I hope this meeting serves as an opportunity for the two councils to communicate actively across a wide range of areas and broaden the path toward shared growth," Speaker Yoo said.
