South Korea's ruling and opposition parties except for the main opposition Liberty Korea Party have agreed to produce an agreement on the details of the reform bills designated as fast-track. 

The chairs of the ruling Democratic Party and three minor opposition parties reached the agreement during a meeting on Thursday presided over by National Assembly Speaker Moon Hee-sang. LKP Chairman Hwang Kyo-ahn did not attend the event citing his ongoing hunger strike against the government. 

After the meeting, the Party for Democracy and Peace Chairman Chung Dong-young told reporters that they still want to reach a five-way agreement on the fast-track bills including the LKP, but if the conservative party refuses, the four parties will try their own.
