與 "Closer Policy Communication... Weekly Regular Meetings for Senior Party and Government Officials"

Imanhee "Party Promises to Take the Lead in Livelihood Policies"

The People Power Party and the Presidential Office have decided to hold high-level party-government meetings regularly once a week to strengthen communication between the party and the government.

Lee Man-hee, Secretary General of the People Power Party, said in a briefing after a luncheon meeting between President Yoon Seok-yeol and the ruling party leadership on the 18th, "The party proposed regularizing the high-level party-government meetings, which had been held irregularly and privately focusing on current issues, to once a week, and the presidential side accepted this." This is interpreted as the ruling party, which completely reorganized its appointed leadership after losing the by-election for the mayor of Gangseo District, Seoul, signaling its intention to take the lead on major policies ahead of next year's general election.

At the luncheon, in addition to Representative Kim Ki-hyun and Floor Leader Yoon Jae-ok, Yoo Ui-dong, Chairman of the Policy Committee, and Secretary General Lee, who were recently appointed through party position reshuffles, attended. This is the first time in five months since May 10, the first anniversary of the president's inauguration, that the contents of a luncheon meeting between President Yoon and the ruling party leadership have been disclosed to the media.

Secretary General Lee said, "At the luncheon, there was talk about needing to pay closer attention to and take better care of the lives of the people," adding, "The party and the Presidential Office agreed that communication on livelihood-related policies needs to be more closely coordinated." He continued, "We also promised that the party will proactively take the lead in managing and advancing livelihood-related policies."

Secretary General Lee also conveyed that President Yoon and the party leadership spent about two hours dining and taking a walk while having conversations during the luncheon.
