During a parliamentary steering committee meeting, Presidential Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk announced the creation of a political affairs minister position within President Yoon Suk Yeol's office. This move aims to enhance communication with the National Assembly and address calls for improved collaboration between the government and the opposition-controlled parliament. Chung emphasized the importance of effective and continuous consultation with lawmakers, expressing the government's commitment to considering their opinions and providing thorough explanations. In addition to establishing the political affairs minister role, the government plans to propose a revision to the Government Organization Act. Furthermore, Chung pledged to collaborate with the National Assembly in establishing a new ministry focused on addressing the country's low birth rate. This initiative reflects the government's intention to engage in discussions and legislative efforts to tackle the issue at a comprehensive level. The announcement comes as rival parties gear up for debates, with the opposition planning to reintroduce contentious bills, including a proposal for a special counsel probe and bills related to media boardrooms and the impeachment of the chief of the broadcasting watchdog.
