The ruling and opposition parties continue to make contact for the dialogue, but they have not been able to overcome the deadlock.’,

, ‘Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, has been receiving inpatient treatment since testing positive for COVID-19 on the 22nd.

,
, ‘When asked about what would happen to the inter-party meeting if the leader resumes activities after being discharged, Director Kim responded, “The practical negotiations are currently ongoing.”‘,

Of course, we also work hard on special investigations and various forms of oversight activities.”‘,
