Tour aims to share key issues and strengthen cooperation between province and municipalities
Kim Young-su, administrative deputy governor of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, began a tour of all 18 cities and counties in the province Friday, starting with visits to Donghae and Samcheok to meet with their mayors.
The visits are intended to strengthen communication between the provincial government and local municipalities, solidify the foundation for cooperation, and allow Kim to hear directly from officials on the ground about key local issues and various requests.
The tour also serves as preparatory groundwork for a series of roundtable meetings across all 18 cities and counties that Governor Woo Sang-ho plans to launch next year.
"For the province's key policies to produce tangible results at the local level, close communication and cooperation between the province and its cities and counties are paramount," Kim said. "I will visit all 18 cities and counties in turn, listen to the views of their mayors and county heads, hear the voices of local communities firsthand, and work together with them to resolve pressing issues."
