[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 11th, Yoon Ho-jung, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Kim Ki-hyun, floor leader of the People Power Party, held their first meeting to discuss the approval of Prime Minister nominee Kim Boo-kyum. The People Power Party has launched an offensive linking the approval issues of Prime Minister nominee Kim Boo-kyum with those of ministerial nominees Im Hye-sook, Park Jun-young, and Noh Hyung-wook, whom they deemed unqualified even before the hearings began. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party demands that the approval of ministerial nominees and the prime minister nominee be handled separately.
