During the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly today, Jung made these remarks and emphasized, "As a citizen, I feel proud."

He continued, "During his visit to Italy, President Lee elevated bilateral relations to the highest level of a 'special strategic partnership,' creating a new turning point for cooperation between the two countries." He added, "During this visit, President Lee was awarded the highest level of honor by the Italian side, receiving international recognition for South Korea's status and achievements."

He also added, "This is something I heard from many citizens during the local elections: they used to feel anxious whenever President Yoon Suk Yeol went abroad, but they now feel a sense of anticipation whenever President Lee goes on an overseas trip."

He concluded by saying, "I look forward to the excellent capabilities of the Republic of Korea, led by the Lee Jae-myung administration, connecting more actively with the world and sharing those achievements abundantly."
