[Asia Economy Reporters Kang Nahum and Jeon Jinyoung] Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, evaluated on the 8th, two days before the 3rd anniversary of the Moon Jae-in administration's launch, that "the past three years have been a period proving the reason for the nation's existence."

On that day, at the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, Lee said, "As promised to the people, the Moon Jae-in administration is advancing toward a country that the people can truly feel as a proper nation."

He continued, "We protected health through Moon Jae-in Care, increased jobs, promoted innovative growth, and fostered the materials and components industry," adding, "Above all, in the face of the COVID-19 national crisis, we protected the lives and safety of the people and created a global model known as K-quarantine."

He further stated, "The reason we were able to respond well to become a global model for COVID-19 is that the social infrastructure steadily built since the Participatory Government, such as the National Health Insurance and basic livelihood security system, fundamentally functioned," and added, "It was possible because the government actively responded, medical staff showed dedication, and the public participated."

Lee said, "The party and government will do their utmost to further develop, institutionalize, and stabilize achievements that the people can feel," and added, "With the new National Assembly opening, we will work even harder with the determination to write a new history."

Regarding Kim Tae-nyeon, who attended the Supreme Council meeting for the first time as floor leader, Lee evaluated him as "a person equipped with experience, ability, drive, and negotiation skills."

He said, "Now, ahead of the opening, I believe Floor Leader Kim will successfully carry out the important task of creating a working National Assembly," and added, "The floor leader of the United Future Party will be elected today, and I hope they negotiate well and devote themselves to handling the remaining livelihood bills of the 20th National Assembly."
