President Lee Jae-myung has arrived at Seoul Air Base a short while ago, concluding his European tour for the G7 summit.
The arrival ceremony today (June 18) was attended by government officials, including Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik, as well as leadership from the Democratic Party, including party leader Jung Chung-rae and floor leader Han Byung-do.
Previously, when President Lee departed on the 9th, the Democratic Party leadership, including leader Jung, did not attend the send-off ceremony at the request of the Blue House. At the time, it was interpreted as an indirect criticism of Representative Jung following defeats in key battlegrounds, including the Seoul mayoral election.
