Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that it will hold the first Busan Metropolitan City-District and County Communication and Cooperation Meeting since the launch of the 9th elected administration at 11:00 a.m. today, September 3, in the Grand Conference Room on the first floor of Busan City Hall.

Under the banner “One Busan, Opening the 9th Elected Administration Together,” the meeting will bring together Mayor Chun Jae-soo and the heads of Busan’s 16 districts and county to share the city administration’s vision and strengthen the foundation for cooperation between Busan Metropolitan City and the districts and county toward the common goals of citizen happiness and Busan’s development.

The meeting will begin with a joint declaration of the “Commitment to Citizens,” followed by presentations on the direction of city administration and future growth strategies, and an exchange of views on Busan’s future and directions for shared development.

First, Busan Metropolitan City and its 16 districts and county will affirm through the joint “Commitment to Citizens” declaration their determination to take shared responsibility for citizens’ lives and Busan’s future.

The joint declaration contains five shared action priorities: “administration that places citizen happiness above all else,” “establishing Busan as the maritime capital of the Republic of Korea,” “revitalizing the people’s economy and ensuring citizen safety,” “making Busan a city where young people want to stay,” and “sustained communication and cooperation.”

Mayor Chun and the heads of the districts and county will personally sign the joint declaration and pledge before citizens that Busan Metropolitan City and the districts and county will work together to carry out the five priorities.

Next, during the presentation on “Busan’s Future Vision,” Busan Metropolitan City will share with the districts and county the direction and key initiatives of the 9th elected administration, broadening consensus on the city’s future vision.

Participants will review the changes Busan aims to achieve and the direction of city administration, with particular focus on the implementation strategy for the key pledge, “Busan, a Future City Powered by AI.”

Plans will be presented to foster AI and future technologies as new growth engines for Busan, centering on major projects such as the K-Maritime AI Belt, the Southeastern Region Quantum Cluster, and the Youth AI Hub.

Finally, Mayor Chun and the heads of the districts and county will freely exchange views on Busan’s future and directions for shared development.

Through an open discussion format, participants will share their perspectives on Busan’s future vision and seek to broaden cooperation between Busan Metropolitan City and the districts and county for sustainable development.

The meeting will also serve as an opportunity to expand communication and cooperation between Busan Metropolitan City and the districts and county into local communities. A series of initiatives will follow, including on-site engagement across 206 towns, townships, and neighborhoods, meal-table conversations with citizens, and town hall meetings in four regional areas where citizens will discuss the future and development direction of their communities.

Through these initiatives, Busan Metropolitan City plans to hear a wide range of local voices firsthand and work together with the districts and county to find solutions to issues raised in the field.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo is expected to say, “Busan Metropolitan City and its 16 districts and county are partners moving together toward the shared goals of citizen happiness and Busan’s development. We will make this meeting the starting point for meeting more often and communicating more closely, and together we will create changes that citizens can truly feel.”
