Lee to discuss pan-government drive to eradicate corruption

President Lee Jae Myung is scheduled to convene a meeting on Friday to address the pan-government drive aimed at eradicating corruption in South Korea. This inaugural meeting of the anti-corruption policy conference, under the Lee administration, will convene heads of 18 key government ministries and agencies, including the finance minister, acting police chief, and chief of the national spy agency.

Over the course of two sessions, Lee will receive briefings from participants on strategies to combat deep-rooted corrupt practices at local authorities, irregularities involving government contracts, and measures to prevent the misuse of state funds, such as the unlawful receipt of subsidies. Additionally, the discussion will focus on addressing corruption involving former government officials.
