[Photo] Prime Minister Jeong Sye-kyun and Attendees Engaged in Conversation with Serious Expressions

The 'Tripartite Agreement Ceremony for Overcoming the COVID-19 Crisis,' scheduled to be held on the 1st at the Prime Minister's Official Residence in Jongno-gu, Seoul, was canceled due to the last-minute absence of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU). The tripartite parties had originally planned to sign an agreement that included strengthening employment retention and introducing nationwide employment insurance on that day. The KCTU held a Central Executive Committee meeting from the morning to discuss whether to sign the agreement but ultimately decided not to participate in the ceremony. The photo shows attendees, excluding KCTU Chairman Kim Myung-hwan, conversing before heading to the reception room./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
