Democratic Party ”unilaterally cancels” working-level talks at party leaders' meeting after they fail... Presidential office ”deems postponement unavoidable” = South Korea

The working-level meeting for the first summit between President Yoon Seok-yeol and Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's co-chairman, ended in failure on the 22nd.
Hong Cheol-ho, the new chief of staff for political affairs in the presidential office, said, "I will meet with Jeong Joon-ho, the secretary-general of the Democratic Party, by tomorrow.
Hong Cheol-ho, the newly appointed Chief Secretary for Political Affairs of the Presidential Office, told reporters at the briefing room of the Presidential Office in Yongsan on the same day, "I will contact him today and will immediately (top meeting) tomorrow."

However, there are voices within the presidential office saying that as the change in Chief Secretary for Political Affairs is being implemented, it is unavoidable to adjust the schedule.
The appointment in the afternoon is not a polite gesture to the opposition party. The President's Office reportedly called at around 11:40 a.m. that day to ask for approval for the announcement of the new Chief Political Affairs Officer.
It was reported that he conveyed this opinion based on the judgment that it would be best for the Chief Political Affairs Officer to take over, and that Chief Secretary Chun's side also expressed an understanding.
