The ruling Democratic Party (DP) on Sunday met with Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and senior presidential aides to discuss key policy issues, as the National Assembly prepares to begin its annual audit this week.

DP leader Jung Chung-rae and floor leader Kim Byung-ki, as well as presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik and senior presidential secretary for political affairs Woo Sang-ho, attended the meeting at the prime minister's residence on the final day of the extended Chuseok holiday.

The closed-door session was expected to cover reform agendas and livelihood-related policies to be pursued during the regular parliamentary session, which is set to open Monday.

The DP has been pushing for a series of legislative reforms, and has called on Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae to appear before the Legislation and Judiciary Committee's audit session on Monday.
