During the virtual session in Rome on Sunday, Lee instructed his aides to closely communicate and seek cooperation with both rival political parties in order to expedite the legislation process.

The president directed focus on prioritizing policies for the country’s young people in next year’s budget, developing mid- to long-term state fiscal projects, and accelerating a review to launch a body to handle youth policies. Lee said that although the revolution in artificial intelligence and industrial transformation has begun to provide new opportunities for the domestic economy, young people continue to face difficulties in employment, asset acquisition and income polarization. The president also recognized and accepted claims in ongoing demonstrations by people in their 20s and 30s that their constitutional rights were violated during the June 3 election ballot shortages, and called to determine the cause in a swift and transparent manner.

Lee added that the ballot shortage protesters who conducted inspections of others and obstructed business should be held to account under relevant laws and principles, however, in an apparent reference to the blockade of female youth handball players from entering a nearby gymnasium.
