The National Assembly resumes its interpellation session today with rival lawmakers questioning top government ministers on issues related to foreign affairs and security.
Many of the questions are likely to focus on the parliamentary ratification of the joint declaration reached between the two Koreas at the Panmunjeom summit in April.
The ruling party wants to ratify the agreement as soon as possible to ensure that the promises can be smoothly implemented,... while the conservative opposition says progress on denuclearization must come first.
The parliamentary questioning session initially kicked off in September,... but three of the four sessions were postponed as they overlapped with the inter-Korean summit in Pyeongyang and the opening of the joint liaison office.
