[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Lee Ho-seung, Chief of Policy Office at the Blue House, will begin communication with the business community starting with meetings on the 7th with the Chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Kim Ki-moon, Chairman of the Korea Federation of SMEs.

On the 6th, Blue House spokesperson Kang Min-seok stated in a briefing, "Following President Moon Jae-in's directive, the Blue House will sequentially engage in communication with the business sector starting tomorrow."

Earlier, on the 1st, during a meeting with his aides, President Moon emphasized communication with the business community, saying, "In difficult times, it is a natural duty for government authorities, the Chief of Policy Office, and the Chief Secretary at the Blue House to meet with business leaders, listen to their difficulties, and support corporate activities."

Accordingly, Chief Lee will begin meetings on the 7th with the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Korea Federation of SMEs, visit the Korea Employers Federation and the Korea Association of Mid-sized Enterprises on the 8th, and visit the Korea International Trade Association on the 14th.

Spokesperson Kang said, "This is a public-private cooperation to boost the economy, where various topics such as the Korean New Deal, carbon neutrality implementation, and deregulation will be discussed," adding, "They will visit economic organizations directly to hear vivid voices from the field." The meeting will also be attended by the Senior Secretary for Public Communication, the Senior Secretary for Economic Affairs, and the Secretary for Industrial Policy.

Spokesperson Kang added, "We will actively participate in invitations to meetings to ensure that communication with the business community does not end as a one-time event and will continue ongoing dialogue."

However, the communication plan announced that day did not include the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI). Regarding this, a key Blue House official said, "The FKI mentioned visiting schedules such as the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which we understand to be overlapping. We will communicate if necessary," and added, "The Blue House will listen to and discuss solutions for difficulties faced by large corporations, mid-sized companies, and SMEs alike, and will communicate with individual companies if needed."
