During their meeting at the National Assembly, Cho expressed strong support for the government's efforts to promote three major mega projects and streamline regulations for an AI transformation. He emphasized, "The National Assembly will actively cooperate to ensure these initiatives proceed smoothly."


Cho also explained that the National Assembly is working to establish a "permanent cooperation system" to connect the voices from the economic sector with legislation and policy.


He noted the need for communication channels between the National Assembly and the government to solidify cooperation with the business community, stating, "If the government conveys the requests and challenges from various ministries to the National Assembly, it will enable more efficient legislative support."
