[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the People Power Party, and Lee Jin-bok, the Senior Secretary for Political Affairs at the Presidential Office, met on the 20th and agreed to create a 'working-level party-government consultative body.'

After visiting Floor Leader Joo at the National Assembly on the same day, Secretary Lee told reporters, "We discussed that although there is a high-level party-government-office consultative body, there is no working-level party-government meeting, which seems to cause various difficulties. We decided to form a working-level party-government meeting team so that the government and the party can operate state affairs."

Secretary Lee explained, "Emergency Response Committee Chairman Jeong Jin-seok also gave such an opinion."

Regarding the high-level party-government consultative meeting scheduled for the 25th, he said, "The agenda includes issues such as grain problems and the Yellow Envelope Act, which need to be discussed. We also plan to discuss measures to eradicate voice phishing."

When asked if President Yoon Seok-yeol had any concerns about additional disciplinary actions against former party leader Lee Jun-seok, Secretary Lee replied, "As I have repeatedly said, the president has never mentioned that issue even once. The president's office has nothing to say about the party's ethics committee telling them what to do."
