Ruling Democratic Party of Korea leader Kim Min-seok ordered a task force in Seoul on Monday to promote broader political unity and expand cooperation with other parties. The task force will work under his direct leadership and be headed by four-term lawmaker Park Beom-kye. Kim said it will seek dialogue with the main opposition People Power Party and political solidarity with progressive and liberal parties. The party will also set up a separate task force to review complaints raised during its recent leadership election and propose changes to its election system.

Ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) leader Kim Min-seok ordered the launch of a task force Monday aimed at achieving broader political unity and expanding cooperation with other parties.
Kim made the remarks during a meeting of the party's supreme council, saying the task force, to be placed under his direct leadership, will spearhead a sweeping push to strengthen ties across political blocs.
"We will build an unbreakable bridge of dialogue with the main opposition People Power Party, and a bridge of political solidarity for the future with progressive and liberal parties," he said.
