On October 31st, President Yun Seok-yew visits the Seoul National Assembly and shakes hands with Democratic Party representative Lee Jae-myung (Yonhap News)
The Blue House announced on Saturday that details such as the time and format of the proposed meeting between President Yoon Seok-yeol and main opposition leader Lee Jae-myung have not yet been decided.
In a message to reporters, Yun's office also denied media reports that the date for the first-ever meeting had been finalized.
The Blue House announced Friday that Yoon proposed holding the meeting next week after congratulating Lee and other party members of the Democratic Party on their victory in the April 10 parliamentary elections.
Mr. Lee reportedly thanked Mr. Yoon for the invitation and suggested holding a meeting as soon as possible.
If the Yun-Lee meeting takes place, it will be the first meeting between the two countries since the president took office in May 2022.
Lee has repeatedly called for dialogue with the president, but Yun has shown little desire to meet with his former rival in the 2022 presidential election.
However, after the opposition party led by the Democratic Progressive Party won a landslide victory in the general election, securing 192 seats in the 300-member Diet to the ruling People's Power Party's 108 seats, the need for cooperation with the opposition party has increased. ing. (Union)
