President Lee Jae-myung urged the newly appointed legislative leadership of the Democratic Party, led by Han Byeong-do, to expedite the processing of legislative proposals related to national policy initiatives.
On July 1, President Lee held a private dinner at the Blue House with the new legislative leadership, which was formed in May. During the meeting, he congratulated the new team and emphasized the need to accelerate legislative efforts tied to national policy.
Democratic Party spokesperson Lee Joo-hee conveyed this message in a written briefing, stating, "Leader Han Byeong-do expressed gratitude for the president's recent overseas achievements and the progress of three major mega-projects. He also pledged to strongly support these initiatives through necessary legislation."
Lee Joo-hee further noted, "The legislative leadership expressed respect for the president and the government's tireless efforts and remarkable achievements over the past year. In the second year of the administration, the government and ruling party are committed to working more closely together to expand the successes of the first year and create a turning point for economic development across the nation."
Additionally, prior to the dinner with the Democratic Party's legislative leadership, President Lee had lunch with former President Moon Jae-in. They reportedly discussed the recent party convention and the signs of division within the party, agreeing to work together towards unity.
