[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol is expected to announce the new government's national agenda around the 3rd of next month.

Shin Yong-hyun, spokesperson for the Presidential Transition Committee, stated at the committee's office in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 3rd, "President-elect Yoon plans to directly announce the national agenda between the 3rd and 5th of next month," adding, "Drafts of the national agenda from each division will be collected tomorrow (the 4th), and by the 18th of this month, the second round of refining the national agenda will be completed."

Transition Committee Chairperson Ahn Cheol-soo has expressed that, unlike the Moon Jae-in administration's 100 major national agendas which were listed in a 'catalogue style,' the new agenda will not be selected in such a manner. Spokesperson Shin said, "Chairperson Ahn has requested each division to select 3 to 5 representative tasks and also to derive long-term tasks for the national agenda selection."

Regarding the nomination of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as the first Prime Minister of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, he stated, "Once the prime minister candidate is nominated, Chairperson Ahn and the candidate will meet and proceed with a collaborative process."
