South Korean President Lee Jae Myung Plans Luncheon with Minor Party Lawmakers on Wednesday

South Korea's presidential office announced on April 26, 2026, that President Lee Jae Myung plans to host a luncheon meeting with lawmakers from minor parties and independent members of the National Assembly. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday and will include representatives from five non-negotiating parties as well as independents.

Yonhap reported these details based on the announcement from Cheong Wa Dae.

Presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung stated that the exact time and venue would be announced later. Participants will include lawmakers from the Rebuilding Korea Party and the New Reform Party. These parties are among the five non-negotiating parties invited to the event.

During the meeting, President Lee Jae Myung is expected to outline his policy directions on prosecution reform and real estate policy. He will also seek cooperation on legislation concerning people's livelihoods and the economy. The luncheon aims to foster dialogue between the president and these lawmakers, according to the presidential office.
