[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] President Yoon Seok-yeol will meet with the ruling party leadership in early next month.

Lee Jin-bok, Senior Secretary for Political Affairs at the Presidential Office, told reporters at the National Assembly on the 20th that he met with Emergency Committee Chairman Jeong Jin-seok in the morning and said, "It seems that the Emergency Committee members want to have lunch or dinner with the President, so I asked how we could arrange that and suggested roughly adjusting the schedule."

The meeting is expected to take place around early next month after the comprehensive audit session is concluded. When asked whether discussions related to the party convention would take place during this meeting, Lee responded, "I doubt it will go that far."

On the same day, Lee met with Chairman Jeong, Policy Committee Chairman Seong Il-jong, and Deputy Floor Leader Song Eon-seok to discuss the status of ruling and opposition consultations regarding the government organization reform bill and major legislation.

President Yoon has been increasing contact with the party, including having lunch with out-of-office party branch chairpersons on the 19th.
