[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the United Future Party, stated on the 1st, "We will make the United Future Party a progressive party through the Emergency Committee," adding, "We will also take a leading role in terms of policy."

Chairman Kim made these remarks during the first Emergency Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning.

He said, "I did not bring any special message today. I will specifically explain what the United Future Party will pursue at the next meeting," while also mentioning policy responses in the 'post-COVID-19' situation, hinting at the party's future course of action.

Chairman Kim stated, "Due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the public is feeling very anxious about the future," and added, "While I believe the COVID-19 situation has succeeded in protecting the health of the people, various economic and social issues arising from it are approaching us seriously."

He continued, "I hope the government will not simply limit itself to COVID-19 quarantine measures but provide a balanced outlook on the various economic and social situations affected by it," he added.
