President Lee Jae Myung is hosting a dinner meeting with the newly elected leader of the ruling Democratic Party (DP), Kim Min-seok, and two former contenders of the leadership race, Reps. Jung Chung-rae and Song Young-gil, at Cheong Wa Dae on Wednesday. The dinner aims to strengthen cooperation on state affairs among the party, government, and presidential office, focusing on issues such as people's livelihood and the economy, as well as promoting party unity.

The meeting comes just two days after the national convention, where Kim Min-seok secured 54.08 percent of the votes, compared to Jung Chung-rae's 45.92 percent.
