[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Ha Tae-kyung, the responsible representative of the New Conservative Party, stated on the 9th that Hwang Kyo-ahn, the leader of the Liberty Korea Party, must clearly express his agreement to the 'Three Principles of Conservative Reconstruction' for participation in the 'Innovation Integration Promotion Committee (Hyuktongwi)' to be possible.

Ha, the responsible representative, held a press conference at the National Assembly Press Hall in the afternoon and said, "Without a firm promise and mention from Leader Hwang, it is difficult to start integration talks."

Regarding the Hyuktongwi principles announced at the joint meeting of political parties and civic groups that day, he said, "The Three Principles of Conservative Reconstruction are well reflected, and I agree that Hyuktongwi should be established based on those principles," but emphasized, "For the integration discussion to proceed stably, Leader Hwang must give a clear and public confirmation."

Ha said, "For example, even if an agreement is reached between floor leaders, it can be broken when taken to the party caucus," and asked, "If you agree, why can't you say it publicly?" When asked if he would not participate in Hyuktongwi without a public mention, he replied indirectly, "There is a preliminary stage that must be completed."

Ha urged that after Leader Hwang accepts the Three Principles of Conservative Reconstruction, an agreement on the role of Hyuktongwi should be reached. He expressed the position that discussions on appointments and composition should follow.

He said, "If Hyuktongwi proceeds, the two parties will disappear. This is a very significant matter, so the two parties must agree on whether Hyuktongwi is simply an advisory body or if binding authority will be granted," adding, "A pledge from each party leader, or if insufficient, from the highest-level executives, and if that is still insufficient, a pledge from all members of the assembly may be necessary."

When asked if he agrees with Professor Park Hyung-joon of Dong-A University being appointed as the chairperson of Hyuktongwi, Ha only said, "Integration is a very difficult task. The order of things is not (this) one."
