[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] On the afternoon of the 28th, the ruling and opposition parties held a plenary session and passed a revision to the National Assembly Act to establish a branch of the National Assembly building in Sejong City.
The bill specifies that "a branch of the National Assembly shall be established in Sejong Special Self-Governing City as the Sejong Assembly Hall," and allows the National Assembly to determine necessary matters.
