Gov't to establish housing supply oversight meeting under PM

Seoul, Aug. 13 (Yonhap) - The government plans to create a new meeting of relevant ministries, overseen by the prime minister, to ensure the successful implementation of its latest housing supply plan, stated Government Policy Coordination Minister Lim Ki-keun. The land ministry aims to construct over 230,000 additional homes in the Seoul metropolitan area by expediting development on public land, removing greenbelt restrictions in certain regions, and providing support to private-sector projects.

Lim emphasized that implementation is crucial. The newly established housing supply oversight meeting will allow the prime minister to personally monitor the supply schedule and facilitate smooth discussions among ministries regarding key issues. Additionally, a working-level meeting will be convened for officials from relevant ministries to review essential matters ahead of time.

A dedicated support team will commence operations to obtain the necessary permits and approvals for the extensive project, according to Lim.
