[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] Yoon Hee-geun, Commissioner of the National Police Agency, will meet with Lee Won-seok, the newly appointed Prosecutor General, on the 19th.

According to the police, Commissioner Yoon is scheduled to meet Prosecutor General Lee, who will visit the National Police Agency in Migeun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, in the morning. This meeting is known to be a courtesy visit following Lee's inauguration. Lee was inaugurated as the 45th Prosecutor General on the 16th. During the meeting, Commissioner Yoon and Prosecutor General Lee are expected to discuss the changing criminal justice system, including the government's key tasks such as the 'responsible investigation system' and follow-up measures related to the 'complete removal of prosecution's investigative authority law' (검수완박법), as well as exchange views on current issues such as investigative cooperation between the two agencies.

This is not the first time a Prosecutor General has visited the National Police Agency for an inaugural greeting. Previously, Moon Moo-il, former Prosecutor General, visited the National Police Agency in July 2017 after his inauguration and met with then-Commissioner Lee Cheol-seong. Moon also visited the National Police Agency in July 2019 as a farewell visit. Former Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo also paid a courtesy visit to Commissioner Kim Chang-ryong in June last year upon his inauguration. However, Yoon Seok-youl, the successor to Moon and predecessor to Kim, who is now President, did not visit the National Police Agency either at his inauguration or retirement.
