[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the afternoon of the 12th, Bae Jae-jung, Senior Secretary for Political Affairs at the Blue House, visited Seoul City Hall to deliver President Moon Jae-in's congratulatory flower arrangement celebrating the inauguration of Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon.

Senior Secretary Bae conveyed the President's congratulations, saying, "Due to the severe COVID-19 situation, we cannot deliver the congratulations in person, but since you will be attending the Cabinet meeting tomorrow as a representative of local government heads nationwide, the President wanted to exchange greetings at least via video."

In response, Mayor Oh said, "I will attend the Cabinet meeting tomorrow and express my gratitude through video. I believe I have a role as the only opposition party member among the Cabinet meeting attendees. Please also convey my advance apologies for representing not only Seoul's current issues but also conveying the sentiments of the field and the opposition party's stance."
