President Lee Jae Myung called for unity between the government and the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) as he held a dinner meeting with DPK leader Kim Min-seok and floor leader Han Byung-do on Wednesday, his office said.<\/p>\n

During the dinner at Cheong Wa Dae, Kim asked the government for bold and swift measures to overcome polarization and boost consumption, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said in a written briefing.<\/p>\n

In response, Lee stressed the need for the party and the government to “move as one” in order for the people’s lives to improve, and asked that the party and the National Assembly extend their active support to get the government’s 2027 budget proposal passed, Kang said.<\/p>\n

Lee also asked his chief of staff, Lim Kwang-hyun, and senior political affairs secretary, Choi In-ho, to closely communicate with the National Assembly at all times. Lim and Choi were among the dinner participants.<\/p>\n

Though there had been speculation Lee and the party leaders could discuss controversial issues, such as real estate taxes and a special counsel bill on alleged fabricated indictments, a presidential official said neither topic was brought up.<\/p>\n
