[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] On the 18th, Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, held a dinner meeting with former Prime Minister and presidential candidate Chung Sye-kyun in Yeouido, where they shared their intentions to recreate the presidential regime. Leader Song is holding dinner meetings sequentially with presidential candidates.

After the approximately one hour and 30 minutes meeting, Leader Song told reporters, “How the Democratic Party can expand the centrist voters that candidate Ahn Hee-jung encompassed. I believe one of the candidates capable of handling that is former Prime Minister Chung, and I also mentioned that such a role is necessary.”

Former Prime Minister Chung said, “We reaffirmed a consensus that we must recreate the regime,” and added, “Especially after the primary, when a candidate emerges, we will work closely together to lead the election victory centered on that candidate.”

Since former Prime Minister Chung had raised objections during the primary process, it appears that conversations were held to dispel such misunderstandings. Leader Song said, “Going forward, I will communicate well with Representative Kim Min-seok, who oversees the Chung Sye-kyun campaign, to ensure there are no misunderstandings. We agreed to communicate immediately if any situation arises.”

In response, former Prime Minister Chung emphasized, “If there are any shortcomings or regrets in daily matters, we will resolve them and become one team to make the Moon Jae-in administration successful and achieve victory in the presidential election by pooling our wisdom together.”
