Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol's tour diplomacy at the meeting of the representative of the negotiating group 'Debut Exhibition'.
President Lee Jae-myung, in his first speech at the National Assembly negotiating group on the 28th, said, "The president's visit to Britain and the United States has clearly demonstrated the level of diplomacy of this government. The discussion of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for correction and the Korea-U.S. currency swap became an agenda that could not be brought up even though it was the core task of the tour,” he said.
He also said, "Under the principle of pragmatic diplomacy and national interest first, we will cooperate on a bipartisan basis to expand our economic territories, but we will strongly respond to damage to the national interest and national status."
"As the first party, I will clearly hold the responsibility for this diplomatic tragedy," he said.
In addition to this, CEO Lee emphasized 'people's livelihood' and revealed his position on various issues.
