[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] On the 13th, President Moon Jae-in called Choi Kang-wook, the leader of the Open Democratic Party, to congratulate him on his inauguration.

During the call with Leader Choi that morning, President Moon said, "Policies may have priorities. The reform of power institutions is a task that requires both the substantial implementation of laws passed by the National Assembly and the completion of remaining legislative tasks," adding, "I believe the role of the Open Democratic Party is important," according to a press release from the Open Democratic Party.

President Moon continued, "Please convey my encouragement and regards to the Open Democratic Party candidates and members who have shared hardships and joys during the general election," and said, "The process of mutual respect and cooperation was truly admirable."

He also said, "From the perspective of a minority party, cooperation with other parties within the National Assembly will be important," and added, "I urge active efforts for communication."

In response, Leader Choi said, "I told the people that we will become a 'Lighthouse Party.' We will not hesitate to communicate and cooperate," and added, "We will do our best to fill any gaps that the ruling Democratic Party might miss and to inform the public."

Leader Choi was previously elected as the inaugural leader of the Open Democratic Party on the 12th through a vote of all party members.
