At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Floor Leader Kim said, "We will complete reform tasks unwaveringly in all areas of politics, economy, and society. We will create an innovation platform that will be the foundation for 20 years of governance to achieve the success of the Moon Jae-in administration and re-election."

On the eve of the 2nd anniversary of the September 19 Pyongyang Joint Declaration, he urged the passage of the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration ratification bill in the National Assembly, saying, "The Korean Peninsula peace process must be restarted." Floor Leader Kim stated, "Inter-Korean relations are a history of overcoming trials," and added, "We must establish the domestic legal and institutional foundation to implement inter-Korean agreements in preparation for the upcoming great changes on the Korean Peninsula." He also called on the opposition parties to participate, saying, "I request ratification for peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula."

Regarding the main opposition party, the People Power Party, he criticized, "I ask the leadership and some members of the People Power Party to apologize for statements that confused the public and to stop shaking the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency." Floor Leader Kim pointed out, "They are making absurd claims such as adjusting the number of tests as needed or not disclosing statistics because they do not trust the announcements of the quarantine authorities," and added, "Words spread by some far-right forces through YouTube are being repeated through the mouths of members and leaders of the main opposition party." He continued, "The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency discloses the cumulative number of tests every day without omission," emphasizing, "False claims that do not acknowledge transparent and objective statistics and confuse the public are acts that hinder quarantine efforts."

He then pointed out, "The greatest enemy of quarantine is the spread of distrust. I think the only groups in the world that do not recognize 'K-quarantine' are some far-right forces and the People Power Party."
