During the meeting, held at the National Assembly, Cho stated, "As the second half of the National Assembly begins, it is crucial to demonstrate a functioning assembly that prioritizes the people's livelihood. Therefore, the formation of the assembly is urgent." He urged the two leaders to finalize the assembly's structure promptly.
Cho also addressed the non-contentious bills that had been submitted during the previous session but remained unpassed, saying, "These bills should be processed quickly, and I hope you will coordinate the legislative schedule effectively to facilitate this."
Additionally, regarding the report on the lack of ballots during the June 3 local elections, Cho called for the rapid establishment of a special committee for a national investigation and urged collaboration to ensure that the investigation plan is addressed in the next week's session to clarify the situation as soon as possible.
It is reported that Cho proposed the formation of a 'People's Bill Consultation Body' during the meeting with the party leaders to expedite the processing of non-contentious bills.
Jang Hyun-joo, the Chief Secretary for Public Relations, told reporters, "Speaker Cho emphasized that for the second half of the National Assembly to be a working assembly focused on people's livelihoods, there should be a principle that bills passed by committees, including the Legislative and Judiciary Committee, are processed in the plenary session within the same session." He also suggested that the floor leaders of both parties, including the Speaker, meet regularly at least once a month.
He added, "Both party leaders agreed to the formation of the People's Bill Consultation Body and expressed their support for regular meetings."
