The Blue House announced on the 12th, "We express deep regret that we missed an opportunity to fulfill the spirit of cooperation," regarding the cancellation of a luncheon meeting scheduled between President Lee Jae-myung, Democratic Party of Korea leader Chung Cheong-rae, and People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk.
Senior Presidential Secretary for Political Affairs Hong Ik-pyo announced this during a Chunchugwan briefing that afternoon, saying, "Today's luncheon meeting between the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties has been canceled due to the sudden absence of People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk."
He added, "This meeting was intended to foster communication and cooperation on current state affairs. We express deep regret that we missed an opportunity to fulfill that spirit."
He added, "Nevertheless, we firmly state that the Blue House will not give up dialogue to improve the lives of the people. The Lee Jae-myung administration will pursue cooperation through dialogue based on mutual respect and responsibility."
A luncheon meeting between President Lee, Chung, and Jang was originally scheduled for that afternoon at the Blue House. However, the meeting was canceled when the People Power Party announced its non-attendance about an hour before the meeting.
