Chong Wa Dae Chief of Staff Han Kwang-ok visited the GNP to meet Lee Hoi-chang and deliver President Kim's suggestion, which Lee accepted.

Chong Wa Dae spokesman Park Joon-young stated that at the luncheon meeting the two political leaders will talk about ways for cooperation that will allow all political parties to participate in the successful holding of the South-North summit talks. Kim and Lee also will try to hold a discussion on how to allow politics to serve the people and national interests through negotiation and reconcilation.

The GNP conveyed its belief that a discussion should be held on the fair investigation and prosecution of offenders in the recent General Election and the organization of the 16th National Assembly.
