Ahn Cheol-soo: "Organizational Restructuring to Be Carried Out Based on Current Government Structure" (Update)

Ahn "Focusing on Livelihood Stability and Diplomatic Security... Minister of Women and Family Also Nominated"

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, stated that the new government’s reorganization of government agencies will be "pursued based on the current government organization system." This means that the reorganization will be carried out after the new government takes office, and a candidate for the Minister of Gender Equality and Family will also be appointed.

On the 7th, Chairman Ahn said at a press conference at the Transition Committee office in Tongui-dong, "Regarding the issue of government reorganization, rather than rushing to decide and implement it during the transition period, considering the recent domestic and international economic issues and the serious situation in diplomacy and security, it is deemed desirable to focus on stabilizing people’s livelihoods and urgent national affairs such as diplomacy and security," explaining this position.

He also indicated an intention to gather various opinions from the opposition and others. Chairman Ahn explained, "Government reorganization may have diverse views not only from the opposition but also from various sectors of society. The new government will prioritize urgent livelihood issues and, based on experience in national administration, will collect diverse opinions through public hearings and other means."

Regarding the abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, he said, "The Minister of Gender Equality and Family will also be announced as part of the cabinet formation," adding, "The appointed Minister of Gender Equality and Family will have the responsibility to establish plans on what problems exist within the organization and whether there are better reorganization plans for the people, and will take on that role."
