China News Service, July 4. According to Yonhap News Agency, a person related to the South Korean Presidential Office said that the main office on the second floor of the Yongsan Presidential Palace has been renovated, and South Korean President Yin Xiyue will start working here from the 4th.
On March 20, local time, South Korean President-elect Yoon Seok-wyeh held the first press conference after the establishment of the Presidential Handover Committee, and announced the "Blue House Presidential Office Relocation Plan".
Yin Xiyue announced that the Office of the President will be moved to the Ministry of Defense Building.
According to reports, in addition to the main office on the second floor, there is also an auxiliary office of the same size on the fifth floor of the Longshan Presidential Palace. Yin Xiyue will take turns working in the two offices.
However, for safety reasons, it will not be disclosed which office Yin Xiyue will work in every day.
In addition, the renovation of the South Korean Ministry of Defense building was basically completed at the end of last month.
The renovation of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul is expected to be completed after the middle of this month.
According to previous reports, Yin Xiyue announced on March 20 that the presidential office would be relocated from the Blue House to the Ministry of National Defense Building in Yongsan District, Seoul.
He said that the Blue House is a symbol of South Korea's "emperor-like" presidential system, and the relocation of the presidential palace shows his good desire to have close ties and close communication with the people.
South Korea has been collecting new names for the Presidential Palace since the beginning of April, and received suggestions such as "National Pavilion", "22 Itaewon Road" and "People's House". However, it was finally decided to temporarily use "Yongsan Presidential Palace" as the name of the new Presidential Palace. .
