Lee Jae-myung to Host Lunch Meeting With Minor Parties, Independent Lawmakers on April 29

President Lee Jae-myung will host a lunch meeting this week with five minor parties that do not hold negotiating-group status in the National Assembly, as well as independent lawmakers, the presidential office said.

Senior presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said in a written briefing on Saturday that the meeting is scheduled for April 29. The time and venue will be announced separately.

Lee is expected to ask for cooperation on pending issues including the June 3 local elections, balanced regional development and prosecution reform.

Lee previously met with leaders of parliamentary parties, including the Democratic Party, at the presidential office on Jan. 16 and urged cooperation on his policy agenda. The People Power Party leadership did not attend that meeting.
