Today (19th), President Yoon Seok-yeol invites the National Assembly Speakers of the second half of the 21st National Assembly to the Yongsan Presidential Office to have a dinner together.
Today's dinner is attended by Chairman Kim Jin-pyo, Kim Young-joo, Vice-Chairman Jeong Jin-seok, and National Assembly Secretary General Lee Kwang-jae.
Previously, in May, President Yoon had a banquet with the chairman of the first half of the year, including National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seok, who was about to expire.
At today's dinner, President Yoon is expected to share his views on budgetary review and other issues ahead of the September regular parliamentary session for the first time since his inauguration.
In addition, he is expected to request cooperation from the National Assembly on the promotion of national tasks such as the three major reform tasks (education, pension, and labor).
Before the dinner, President Yoon receives a report from the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
As the Minister of Health and Welfare is vacant due to successive failures of ministerial candidates, the vice minister will report instead.
