[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] The Presidential Transition Committee's Special Committee on Regional Balanced Development is forming a 'Sejong Task Force' (TF) under its umbrella. The purpose is to address the plan for the 'Establishment of the President's Second Office in Sejong City,' a campaign pledge of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol.

According to the transition committee on the 23rd, Kim Byung-joon, chairman of the Special Committee on Regional Balanced Development, recently instructed the formation of the 'Sejong TF.' Ryu Je-hwa, representative lawyer of Yeomin Joint Law Office and a member of the special committee, will lead the TF.

The Sejong TF is expected to play a role in concretizing tasks such as the establishment of the Sejong second presidential office and the installation of a branch of the National Assembly, which are campaign pledges of President-elect Yoon.

Currently, the 'Law on the Establishment of the President's Second Office in Sejong City,' proposed by Jeong Jin-seok, the vice chairman of the National Assembly and a member of the People Power Party, is pending in the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee.

President-elect Yoon is reported to have said during a recent meeting with Vice Chairman Jeong, "We will promptly process the law on the establishment of the President's Second Office in Sejong City and hold Cabinet meetings frequently in Sejong City."
