At the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Yoo shared the achievements of the Moon Jae-in administration's inclusive national social policies and discussed key tasks to complete government projects.

In the final stage of the government, a review system will be established to assess the policies implemented so far, supplement any shortcomings, and build a robust social safety net.

They will seek ways to proactively prepare for social changes and shocks after COVID-19 and support citizens to live safely in a fair society.

Deputy Prime Minister Yoo said, "Supporting socially vulnerable groups is more important than anything else due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "We will closely cooperate with social policy research institutes to ensure no citizens are left in policy blind spots."
