The second meeting between Hong Cheol-ho, principal secretary to the president for political affairs, and Chun Jun-ho, chief of staff to the Democratic Party chief, held once more following two days, ended in 40 minutes .
As the agenda had not been coordinated, it was not possible to set not only the date of the main meeting, but also the date of additional working meetings.
While the Office of the President repeatedly proposed holding a meeting as soon as possible to share diverse opinions without limiting the agenda, the Democratic Party expressed dissatisfaction, saying that the Office of the President did not provided notice of revision on previously presented agendas.

“It is unfortunate that it would have been nice to provide notice of revision on the agenda to make the meeting fruitful…”

“We have things to communicate regarding the political situation in the future, so we need to talk regarding it together.”
Previously, the Democratic Party virtually rejected the “pan-opposition joint conference” requested by Rep. Cho from Rep. Lee, and also reacted with skepticism to the formation of a negotiating group by the Homeland Innovation Party .
At a time when there was speculation that the Democratic Party had moved from cooperation to containment, it was reported that Rep. Lee proposed a meeting to clear up these misunderstandings.
After a meeting of approximately two and a half hours, the two parties announced: “Both representatives agreed to meet frequently and speak openly, regardless of the agenda, and agreed to discuss proposed legislation and policies at the 22nd National Assembly. »
At the meeting, Rep. Lee asked, “The Fatherland Innovation Party must play a leading role in reforming our society,” and Rep. Cho responded, “I hope the Fatherland Innovation Party Democrat will assume its heavy responsibility and its role as the party in power. »
A Democratic Party of Korea official said, “It seems like they met at the right time without being constrained by formality,” and a Democratic Party of Korea official said, “It was an opportunity where trust was built between the two representatives. »
