Blue House: "Jung Chung-rae and Kim Min-seok to Attend President Lee's Airport Welcome Ceremony Tomorrow"

As President Lee Jae-myung is set to return home tomorrow following his European tour and attendance at the G7 summit, the leadership of the Democratic Party, including Leader Jung Chung-rae, is scheduled to attend the welcoming ceremony at the airport.

Kang Yu-jung, Chief Spokesperson for the Blue House, stated in a written notice today (June 17) that "government officials, including Prime Minister Kim Min-seok, as well as Democratic Party leadership, including Leader Jung Chung-rae and Floor Leader Han Byung-do, are scheduled to attend President Lee Jae-myung's arrival ceremony tomorrow."

President Lee departed for his European tour on the 9th to attend the G7 summit.

At the time, Democratic Party Leader Jung Chung-rae did not attend the airport send-off ceremony at the request of the Blue House. This led to interpretations that it was an indirect criticism of Leader Jung and the party leadership following the defeats in key battlegrounds, including the Seoul mayoral race, in the June 3 local elections.
