[Asia Economy Reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lim Chun-han] On the 10th, the United Future Party held a "10-hour marathon meeting" to prepare 10 major policies encompassing the party's vision.

Kim Byung-min, chairman of the United Future Party's Policy Platform Special Committee, said in his opening remarks at the special committee meeting that morning, "We will show the image of a party that changes and leads innovation solely from the people's perspective."

Previously, the special committee discussed the party name and policy platform, and plans to prepare 10 major policies to be included in the platform through the marathon discussion on this day. Chairman Kim emphasized, "Following the party name, the 10-hour marathon meeting will be the time to finalize the 10 major policies," adding, "It should reflect an attempt at future change, a partnership with socially vulnerable groups, and a reformist stance on issues such as the environment, women, and the national community."

The 10 major policies are expected to cover areas such as opportunity and fairness, economic innovation, gender equality, environment, and judicial reform, with considerations including banning more than three consecutive terms for members of the National Assembly and abolishing the Blue House's Civil Affairs Office.

Special Committee member Lee Ji-hyun said, "Watching the Hong Kong situation, I realized how precious democracy is, how carefully it must be handled, and how difficult it is to protect," adding, "Ultimately, this is what we are doing to protect democracy."

Committee member Lee Jae-won said, "There may be controversies, but today will definitely mark the milestone showing that the United Future Party is a new party."

Committee member Kim So-yang said, "We ensured that the direction the next generation dreams of is upheld, and mainly expressed opinions on welfare, low birthrate, and gender equality-related fields," while Committee member Park Soo-young said, "the conservative party must become a progressive conservative party that does not remain stagnant but advances, and a party capable of presenting reform and innovation agendas."
