The leadership of the People Power Party and the Reform Party held a lunch meeting on July 21 to discuss future cooperation and collaboration.

Jung Jeom-sik, the floor leader of the People Power Party, and Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the Reform Party, met for lunch at a restaurant in Yeouido, Seoul. They were joined by Kim Seung-soo, the deputy floor leader of the People Power Party, and Cheon Ha-ram, the floor leader of the Reform Party.

After the meal, Lee told reporters, "We discussed the need to consult on common tasks facing the opposition, such as the issue of supplementary investigative powers, and to collaborate where possible."

However, it was reported that specific plans for cooperation between the two conservative parties were not deeply discussed.

Kim, the deputy floor leader, stated, "We shared opinions on the general situation in the National Assembly and the Democratic Party's and government's excessive policy initiatives. There were no discussions on party-specific issues, and we enjoyed a pleasant meal together."

He added, "This was not a meeting with a specific purpose. There were no concrete discussions regarding cooperation between the two parties."
