President Lee Jaemyung Appoints Lee Hanju as Chair of National Policy Planning Committee to Serve as Transition Team

Kang Yujeong, spokesperson for the presidential office, stated, "The National Policy Planning Committee is an organization that functions as a transition team, responsible for tasks such as government restructuring and organizing national policy agendas, except for personnel verification."

Since President Lee Jaemyung took office without a transition team following the Constitutional Court's dismissal of President Yoon Sukyeol after the presidential election, the National Policy Planning Committee is expected to play a key role in establishing the main framework for state affairs going forward.

Similarly, when the Moon Jaein administration was launched through an early presidential election in 2017, a National Policy Planning Advisory Committee was formed and operated for 60 days. However, it has been reported that the specific duration, size, and launch date of the current committee have not yet been determined.
