Bipartisan agreement for special parliamentary committees on pension reform, climate, APEC 2025

At the parliament earlier on Wednesday, rival lawmakers agreed to launch a special committee on national pension reform.

In a meeting presided over by National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik , ruling People Power Party Floor Leader Kweon Seong-dong and opposition Democratic Party Floor Leader Park Chan-dae also agreed to further address the prospects of setting up such a committee this coming Friday during talks with acting President Choi Sang-mok.

Aside from that, the floor leaders also agreed on two additional committees: one for climate-related initiatives and the other for APEC summit preparations as Korea's city of Gyeongju prepares to host the annual multi-lateral gathering in November.
