President Moon Jae-in is reportedly being briefed by the Prime Minister on a series of government ministries and institutions today.... including the ministries of finance, foreign, unification and SMEs and startups. <br />It's an unusual way of ministers reporting to the president-- with the prime minister reporting on behalf of some 20 government ministries and organizations.<br />We go live to our correspondent on the line with the latest-- <br />Se-min tell us more.<br /><br />You're right. It's not the usual way of how we've seen the government ministers report to the president on the latest issues.<br />This is what we know so far-- Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon, shortly after attending the Cabinet meeting will be briefing the president on 11 government ministries, and 5-ministerial, and 4- vice-ministerial organizations-- totaling up to some 20 institutions.<br />That includes the finance ministry, the foreign and unification ministries, the land ministry, oceans ministry and the SMEs and startups ministry.<br />And the PM will be categorizing all of that into five different fields,... namely innovative growth, peace on the Korean Peninsula, an inclusive nation, peoples' safety, and a fair and just society.<br />Jiyoon, as you've mentioned it-- it's not the usual way of how we've seen the president being briefed by the government organizations.<br />In December last year, seven government ministers met the president face-to-face,... and a few others submitted reports.<br /><br />Okay-- then based on the ministries and organizations that are up for reporting-- what can we expect from that session with the PM?<br /><br />For one-- the denuclearization process on the Korean Peninsula,... the president's long-cherished hope of bringing lasting peace to the region-- on the foreign and unification ministers' front.<br />And the other could perhaps be the assessment of the current economic circumstances the country is faced with. <br />The president had just wrapped up a tour of ASEAN member nations-- sealing bilateral and multilateral economic deals with the member nations.<br />But there are also pending economic issues at home like the staggering high unemployment rate and the low consumer sentiment.<br />And the other topic of interest from the meeting could be on some of the high-profile alleged sex crimes,... which the president just yesterday had ordered the ministers of Justice and of Interior Safety to thoroughly investigate.<br />
