President Lee to Receive Private Ministry Briefings From Senior Working Officials

President Lee Jae-myung is reportedly preparing to invite director-general and bureau-level officials from each ministry to Cheong Wa Dae for private work briefings, beginning as early as late this month with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The sessions are expected to exclude ministers and vice ministers and instead take the form of practical discussions with senior working-level officials. According to the original report, the aim is interpreted as hearing ministry conditions directly from executive-level officials and listening to unfiltered policy ideas. Unlike ordinary briefings centered on ministers and vice ministers, the format may influence how future policy discussions are conducted within ministries. Source: mk.co.kr
