[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, said regarding the shortage of urea solution supply, "It would be best to devise maximum measures, even by dispatching a special envoy team."


On the afternoon of the 7th, at an emergency inspection meeting on urea solution held at the National Assembly, Lee said, "It seems to be a problem fundamentally caused by supply distortion."


Lee explained, "Beyond the urea solution issue, various problems may arise in areas where import sources are monopolized or not diversified," adding, "I hope this issue serves as a good opportunity for us to consider diversifying import sources and securing at least a minimal domestic production base."


He also said, "We need to secure supply lines available from various countries," and "I heard that Representative Song Young-gil is making great efforts to diversify import sources."



Furthermore, Lee emphasized, "Speed is very important in creating and executing alternatives," and "Please especially consider the importance of on-site practicality."
