[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the former Prosecutor General who is leading the opposition presidential candidate approval ratings, will meet with Ahn Cheol-soo, the leader of the People’s Party, on the 7th.

According to Yoon’s campaign and the People’s Party on the 6th, Yoon and Ahn will hold a luncheon meeting at a Chinese restaurant in Jongno-gu, Seoul, at 12 noon on the 7th.

At this meeting, Yoon and Ahn are expected to discuss opposition party unification. They previously sat at the same table and talked at the Asia Leadership Conference held at the Shilla Hotel on the 30th of last month.

Since declaring his political participation on the 29th of last month, Yoon has been increasing communication with opposition figures. On the 2nd, he met with Won Hee-ryong, governor of Jeju Province and a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, and on the 3rd, he met with Kwon Young-se, chairman of the People Power Party’s External Cooperation Committee.

Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, when asked by reporters about the meeting between Yoon and Ahn after meeting with Robert Rapson, acting U.S. ambassador to Korea, said, “(Yoon) is also communicating smoothly with the People Power Party through Chairman Kwon,” and added, “Since Ahn is also a figure who should be together under a big tent for regime change, I don’t think there is any special meaning to such communication.”

Meanwhile, it is known that Yoon is also planning a meeting with Kim Jong-in, former emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party.
