[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] The Presidential Transition Committee announced on the 7th that there are no plans to abolish the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.

A Transition Committee official met with reporters at the briefing room in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and stated, "We clearly say that there are no plans to abolish the Ministry of SMEs and Startups," emphasizing, "Once the ministerial appointments are finalized according to current laws, they will be announced immediately."
