[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, stated on the 2nd after having lunch with President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, "We did not discuss personnel matters regarding the formation of the Presidential Transition Committee."

After finishing lunch with President-elect Yoon at the People Power Party headquarters that day, Ahn explained this to reporters.

He said, "We discussed overall national issues," and added, "To be clear from the start, when we agreed on unification, we said that after the election, if we won, we would meet as soon as possible to discuss overall national issues and consult on directions together. I was going to congratulate him on his victory yesterday, but he contacted me first," he explained.

Ahn explained, "Today, while having a packed lunch together, he proposed discussing the overall national issues we had promised to talk about last time, so I came to meet him."

When reporters asked if discussions about government organization restructuring took place, Ahn said, "We exchanged opinions on almost all areas, including the current situation our country is facing, the aspects of democracy that need to be restored, economic issues, and the data industry. We found a great deal of agreement on many parts."

Regarding questions about being mentioned as a candidate for the head of the transition committee, he said, "I find it difficult to say anything because we have not discussed that."
