National Assembly Speaker Cho Jung-sik emphasized the need to process livelihood legislation and the budget without delay during the regular session, while also advancing discussions on constitutional reform to realize popular sovereignty.
In a press release on the 13th, Cho stated, "If the past 100 days were about establishing the groundwork for a working National Assembly, the task now is to ensure that the public can feel the changes." He marked his 100th day in office on the 12th, having been elected during a National Assembly plenary session on June 5.
Since taking office, Cho has set the operational principle of 'Opening the Future with the People,' focusing on livelihood legislation, institutional improvements, economic revitalization, and national interest diplomacy. He prioritized livelihood legislation, processing 177 bills related to public welfare and reform in the past 100 days. On September 2, he convened a 'Livelihood Legislation Strategy Meeting' with chief experts from each standing committee to proactively identify legislative tasks closely related to the public's daily life.
Additionally, he launched several organizations, including a task force for the revision of unconstitutional laws, the Economic Leap Committee, the National Interest Diplomacy Advisory Committee, and the second Sejong Government Complex Construction Committee. Notably, the Economic Leap Committee represents a new collaborative framework for ongoing communication between the National Assembly and the business sector to discuss legislative and policy issues.
Furthermore, Cho has established parliamentary diplomacy as one of the three pillars of South Korea's diplomatic strategy, alongside government diplomacy and public diplomacy. He has also created a Foreign Affairs and Security Office within the Speaker's office, in addition to the National Interest Diplomacy Advisory Committee. On September 7 and 8, he held talks with Vuong Dinh Hue, Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, and Raymond Chretien, Speaker of the Senate of Canada, respectively, to enhance parliamentary diplomacy.
Meanwhile, Cho has been expanding communication with the executive branch. Since his inauguration, he has met with Prime Minister Han Seung-soo, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Ku Yun-cheol, Minister of Science and ICT Baek Kyung-hoon, Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin, Minister of Planning and Budget Park Hong-keun, and Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Kim Jeong-kwan to discuss key national issues and legislative and budget tasks.
