President Lee Jae Myung will host a dinner meeting with the ruling camp’s leadership at the Blue House on Monday.

Lee will discuss the nation’s political situation over dinner with ruling Democratic Party(DP) chair Jung Chung-rae and the other eight members of the party’s Supreme Council, including new floor leader Han Byung-do.

Attention is focused on whether the president will address prosecutorial reform, the two-tier staffing model for a new agency to investigate serious crimes and the confirmation hearing of Lee Hye-hoon, planning and budget minister nominee, scheduled for Monday.

The presidential office said Sunday that Lee will ask the ruling camp to cooperate with the opposition camp.

Last Friday, during a luncheon with the leadership of rival camps at the presidential office, the president repeatedly emphasized “national unity.”

The gathering comes eight days after a DP leadership reshuffle following the party's by-election.

Rep. Kim Byung-kee, mired in a series of controversies, resigned from the floor leader post, and three of its Supreme Council members stepped down to run in the June local elections.
