National Assembly to convene March parliamentary session
- 5 years ago
South Korea's National Assembly will soon be back in business,... after being stuck in limbo for two months.
The floor leaders of the country's three main political parties struck the deal this morning.
However, they failed to narrow their differences on a number of pending issues -- including whether to launch a parliamentary probe into alleged real-estate speculation by a former ruling party lawmaker.
For now, the parties will open a session in March,... although they haven't set the specific schedule yet... and the agendas need to be addressed.
Separately, the leaders of the five main political parties are due to meet with the National Assembly Speaker for their monthly luncheon.
They'll be discussing the North Korea-U.S. summit,... as well as measures to get parliamentary affairs back on track.
Among the participants will be Hwang Gyo-ahn,... the newly elected chair of the main opposition Liberty Korea Party.
