President Lee Jae-myung will receive work reports from public and affiliated institutions at the Blue House on April 17. As these reports are being conducted ahead of the restructuring and merger of public institutions, President Lee is expected to ask pointed and probing questions.

The theme of the work reports is "Service for the People, Innovation for the Future." The session will proceed with President Lee receiving the reports and asking questions freely. First, 47 government-funded research institutes will each present their reports. The Chairperson of the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences, Lee, and the Chairperson of the National Research Council of Science & Technology, Kim Youngsik, will deliver the respective reports. The remaining 55 ministries and affiliated institutions will be covered in a comprehensive report by Yoon Changryeol, Minister of the Office for Government Policy Coordination.

President Lee is expected to scrutinize each institution’s current challenges and response status in detail. In particular, as the restructuring and merger of public institutions is underway, questions regarding the necessity and role of each organization are also anticipated. There is a possibility that he will reprimand institutions that show insufficient preparation or lack a proper understanding of their work.

Meanwhile, during last December’s work report, President Lee stated, "A considerable number of institutions were omitted," and added, "All omitted public institutions and affiliated agencies must submit written reports, and we will set a separate date in Seoul for these work reports." The work reports were originally scheduled for last month but were postponed once due to the Middle East crisis.
