President Lee Jae Myung on Tuesday called for accelerating the construction of a presidential office in Sejong, reaffirming his goal of shifting more of the country’s core administrative functions away from Seoul. Lee called for faster construction of both the presidential office and the planned National Assembly building in Sejong, along with related infrastructure. Tuesday’s meeting marked the fourth Cabinet meeting Lee has chaired in Sejong since taking office. A follow-up law was enacted in 2005 to establish an administrative city instead, and the planned city was officially named Sejong in 2006. The Defense Ministry will establish a Nuclear-Powered Submarine Policy Planning Group to coordinate government policy and institutional arrangements for the project.
