[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] Professor Jo Yong-rae of the Department of Basic Liberal Arts at Gwangju University has been appointed as the next Secretary-General of the Korea-Japan Parliamentary League, a bipartisan parliamentary diplomacy group in the National Assembly.
Kim Jin-pyo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea and president of the Korea-Japan Parliamentary League, appointed Professor Jo as the next Secretary-General on the 21st and decided on his inauguration on the 4th of next month. Since Kim is known as an 'economic expert' within the party and Korea and Japan are currently facing many economic challenges such as export regulations, it appears that efforts were made to recruit an economic specialist.
