On December 12, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is set to have a luncheon meeting with Jeong Cheong-rae, leader of the Democratic Party, and Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People's Power Party. The presidential office emphasized that this meeting aims to foster bipartisan cooperation on issues related to economic recovery and national stability without placing restrictions on the agenda. Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik expressed expectations that the meeting would provide an opportunity for open exchanges of opinions on various matters of national governance and that it could serve as a starting point for presenting hope to the public.

During the discussions, President Yoon is likely to focus on the need for 'legislative cooperation' from the National Assembly. He has recently raised concerns about the slow pace of legislation hindering the country's ability to adapt to changes in the international community. Legislative topics might include crucial issues such as the 'Special Law for U.S. Investment,' which is related to ongoing tariff negotiations with the United States, and administrative integration matters. Additionally, with the upcoming Lunar New Year holidays, topics concerning inflation and consumption revitalization are also expected to be addressed.

Leader Jang Dong-hyuk has previously suggested a 'roundtable meeting' in the National Assembly to address pressing public issues such as inflation, exchange rates, and real estate, as well as the introduction of the 'three major special investigations' pursued by the People's Power Party. However, it is less likely that there will be one-on-one meetings between leaders this time, as the focus is now on enhancing communication between the two parties. The Chief of Staff highlighted that fostering dialogue is more critical at this juncture than individual discussions between party leaders.
