Kaohsiung City Council holds final session, speaker urges continued progress

The Kaohsiung City Council convened its final plenary session of its fourth term, with Speaker Kang Yu-cheng calling for sustained efforts to advance the city's development.

The term of the mayor has an end, and the term of the council members has an end, but Kaohsiung's progress has no end.

Kang stressed that although the terms of office for the mayor and council members are finite, the progress of Kaohsiung is an ongoing journey. She extended gratitude to all council members for their diligent oversight of city administration and for reflecting the voices of their constituents, noting that their work contributes to a better living environment for Kaohsiung's residents.

Highlighting Mayor Chen Chi-mai's consistent high approval ratings, Kang attributed this success partly to the council's continuous supervision and input. She urged the city government team to use the remaining months of their term to address any shortcomings, accelerate ongoing construction projects, and ensure that existing achievements continue to shine.

This is all for the sake of Kaohsiung having a better living environment, and it is also a manifestation of political goodwill.

This final session also marked the review of Kaohsiung's total budget for the upcoming year. Speaker Kang expressed hope for close collaboration between the city government and the council to finalize the budget, prioritize essential tasks, advance necessary construction, and focus on the concerns most important to the citizens. She concluded by thanking all council members and city government staff, wishing the council members success in their re-election bids.

Let's do a little more for Kaohsiung in the final period of time.
