Lee to discuss pan-government drive to eradicate corruption

President Lee Jae Myung is scheduled to preside over a meeting on Friday to discuss the pan-government drive to eradicate corruption in South Korea. The inaugural meeting of the anti-corruption policy conference under the Lee administration will bring together heads of 18 key government ministries and agencies, including the finance minister, acting police chief, and national spy agency chief.

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