KLRI Presdient Han said, “I hope that the topics discussed here present implications for the direction of policy research and also contribute to establishing direction for the future of our local autonomy.”
Meanwhile, KLRI conducts a number of studies for the development of local councils and local autonomous legislative power through its research project on local autonomous legislation. In particular, it is in close cooperation with the Ministry of Government Legislation, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, Governors Association of the Republic of Korea, and other municipal and provincial councils.
