[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Newly appointed Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum visited Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 17th and stated, "We will consult with the party to supplement the legislative shortcomings."

During his visit to the National Assembly in the afternoon to meet Leader Song, Prime Minister Kim said, "Among the various hopes of the Moon Jae-in administration, we will properly complete what needs to be finished and consult with the party to supplement the legislative parts that were lacking. For those that are difficult to handle within the time frame, we will wrap them up and pass them on," he said.

He also expressed opinions regarding concerns about vaccination during the meeting. Kim said, "COVID-19 can only be overcome if the entire nation works together, but due to various stories based on some incorrect information, people aged 60 to 74 are showing concerns and distrust about vaccination," adding, "The government will do its best to persuade that vaccination is necessary for oneself, neighbors, and the entire country to return to normal life."

He continued, "If there are parts where the party has been unable to implement the will of the people in a timely manner, we will do our best to correct what needs to be fixed," emphasizing, "Although many difficulties are expected ahead, if we speak with one voice, I believe the people will evaluate us accordingly. I think this is the desirable political operation of the Democratic Party leadership. I will do my best to support it."

In response, Leader Song said, "I dare say he is the optimal prime minister to support the successful tasks of the Moon Jae-in administration." He added, "Especially as he will depart for the United States on the 19th, there are expectations regarding vaccine supply and the establishment of a vaccine production hub."

Regarding real estate issues, he said, "The party and government are pooling wisdom," but added, "While the overall policy framework should be maintained, I hope efforts will also be made to resolve difficulties faced by actual users in operation."
