Resilience city responding to poverty and inequality


KANG Gi-jung [Mayor, Gwangju Metropolitan City]


I would like to welcome all officials from global cities and international organizations, and human rights activists attending the 13th Human Rights Cities Forum to Gwangju, a city of democracy, human rights, and peace. 

The theme of this year’s from is “Human Rights Cities Responding to Poverty and Inequalities”. As you know, a most comprehensive challenge that the world has faced is ‘poverty and inequalities’. 

I would like to close my speech with proposing a more responsible solidarity and implementation plan to all international organizations, cities, and global citizens attending the 13th World Human Rights Cities Forum for the sake of resilient cities fighting against poverty and inequalities. 

Once again thank you for your attention.
