(CNA reporter Cai Mengyu, Kaohsiung, 4th) The 7th regular session of the 4th Kaohsiung City Council concluded today. Council Speaker Kang Yu-cheng expressed hope that the city government team would seize the final six months of its term to push forward major construction projects. Mayor Chen Chi-mai thanked the council for its oversight and assistance, expressing a desire for continued cooperation in building Kaohsiung.
At the closing of the 7th regular session of the 4th Kaohsiung City Council, Speaker Kang Yu-cheng thanked all council members, the city government team, and citizens for their support and participation, declaring the session a successful conclusion. Mayor Chen Chi-mai led the city government team to the venue, bowed to express gratitude for the council's oversight and assistance, and expressed hope for continued cooperation in building Kaohsiung.
Speaker Kang stated that this session focused on three major areas: transportation, education, and social welfare. This included progress on major projects such as the MRT network, the extension of the high-speed rail to Kaohsiung Station, and Kaohsiung International Airport, demonstrating a high regard for Kaohsiung's future development and urban competitiveness.
Speaker Kang pointed out that on important issues related to urban development, such as industrial transformation, TSMC's entry, and the concert economy, the council, regardless of party affiliation, showed deep affection and shared expectations for Kaohsiung. At the same time, council members also showed great concern for issues such as the declining birthrate, long-term care services, preventing drug-impaired driving, education, and combating disinformation.
Speaker Kang said that what was most impressive about this regular session was not the intense debates, but the council members' shared feelings for Kaohsiung's development. She also joked that many council members frequently referred to Mayor Chen as the "future Premier" during interpellations, "but Mayor Chen never gave a direct response."
Speaker Kang expressed hope that the city government team would make the most of its final six months in office to advance major construction projects, do its best on matters important to citizens, and leave Kaohsiung a "farewell gift" that truly resonates with the people.
