Governor-elect Choo Mi-ae has named the Gyeonggi Governor transition committee the "Fairness, Innovation, and Inclusion Gyeonggi Preparation Committee."

The committee is chaired by five-term lawmaker Kim Tae-nyeon, who served as the general chief of Choo's election campaign headquarters.

Three-term lawmaker Kim Young-jin has been appointed as vice-chair.

[Kim Tae-nyeon / Chair of the Gyeonggi Governor Transition Committee: We will establish fairness where privileges once stood, build innovation upon it to widen the doors of opportunity, and share the fruits of growth with everyone through inclusion.]

The transition committee consists of six subcommittees, 15 special committees, three task forces, a provincial administration advisory group, and a spokesperson's office, with 46 lawmakers participating.

When President Lee Jae-myung was governor-elect, only 12 former and incumbent lawmakers participated in his transition committee, and when current Governor Kim Dong-yeon was governor-elect, only four lawmakers participated as standing advisors.

[Kim Young-jin / Vice-Chair of the Gyeonggi Governor Transition Committee: We will support Governor-elect Choo's administrative plans to ensure they translate into rational policies, while acting as a solid bridge to ensure seamless cooperation between Gyeonggi Province and the National Assembly.]

Governor-elect Choo emphasized that the transition committee must demonstrate its competence to resolve the numerous challenges facing the province amid difficult fiscal conditions.

[Choo Mi-ae / Gyeonggi Governor-elect: The budget situation is effectively in the negative, and there is very little, if any, disposable budget available. I am facing these difficult fiscal conditions as they are, which is why the competence (of the transition committee) is necessary.]

The transition committee plans to begin receiving work reports from each department and bureau of the provincial government starting today (June 17) and will review pending issues for each department.

The inauguration ceremony for Governor-elect Choo will be held on the 1st of next month.

Under the Local Autonomy Act, the transition committee can operate until July 20 at the latest.
