Lee calls for unity at dinner meeting with DP leaders

President Lee Jae Myung convened a dinner meeting on Wednesday with Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok and floor leader Han Byung-do at Cheong Wa Dae, according to his office. During the gathering, Kim urged the government to implement bold and swift actions to address polarization and stimulate consumption, as reported by presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung in a written statement.

In response, Lee emphasized the importance of the party and government working in unison to improve the lives of citizens and appealed for the National Assembly to provide strong support in passing the government's 2027 budget proposal, as stated by Kang. Lee also instructed his chief of staff, Lim Kwang-hyun, and senior political affairs secretary, Choi In-ho, to maintain regular communication with the National Assembly.

Although there had been rumors of potential discussions on contentious matters like real estate taxes and a special counsel bill concerning fabricated indictments, no such topics were broached during the meeting, as confirmed by the presidential office.
