The new DP leader, Kim Min-seok, and other party officials attended a dinner meeting with President Lee, who expressed his hopes for the party to set aside minor differences and focus on building a great Republic of Korea, which the people have entrusted to them. The remarks were made by President Lee during the meeting, as reported by Cheong Wa Dae.\n\nPresident Lee's comments came at a time when tensions remain from the leadership race, which was fueled by divisions between those who supported him and the followers of the former DP leader, Jung Chung-rae. In his address, President Lee also urged the new DP leadership to offer policy support to the government and the presidential office. He asserted that close cooperation among the three entities could lead to tangible changes for the people.",
