[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] Song Young-gil, the newly appointed leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, emphasized the 'One Team of Party, Government, and Blue House' principle during a visit from Lee Cheol-hee, Senior Secretary for Political Affairs at the Blue House, on the 3rd.

On that morning at the National Assembly, after receiving Lee's visit, Leader Song said, "I am grateful for the warm congratulatory words," and added, "The party, government, and Blue House are one team, and we pledge to communicate closely and work together with the attitude of taking full responsibility for the lives of our people and the Republic of Korea."

In response, Senior Secretary Lee stated, "President Moon Jae-in has said that from now on, it is normal and natural for the party to take the lead, so we will ensure sufficient communication and consultation." However, he added, "If conflicts or discord between the party and government are exposed externally, the public becomes anxious. Therefore, the Senior Secretary for Political Affairs has been instructed to be almost always present at the National Assembly to listen to opinions and facilitate smooth communication."

He further said, "I will diligently follow Leader Song. I will frequently call, visit, listen to necessary remarks, and convey important messages."

During the visit, Senior Secretary Lee presented Leader Song with a congratulatory flower arrangement on behalf of President Moon. Prior to the visit, President Moon personally called to offer his congratulations.
