On Friday the 18th of June, Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Korea Office and the Center for Local Autonomy at Hanyang University held a domestic seminar on "A New Leap for Local Autonomy in Korea: Prospects and Challenges," co-organized by the Graduate School of Public Policy Hanyang University and the Graduate School of Public Policy Students' Association Hanyang University.

As the first presenter, Soon-eun Kim, the chairman of the Autonomy and Decentralization committee, talked about recent achievements and new directions of local autonomy in Korea, focusing specifically on the period of president Moon Jae In and his decentralization politics.
