SEOUL, June 25 (AJP) - President Lee Jae-myung has opened an online platform on Tuesday to gather and reflect public opinion on state affairs.
According to the Presidential Office, the platform is to collect public opinion and questions on a wide range of national issues, including the economy, welfare, society, politics, diplomacy, and security via Google Forms.
All submitted questions will be reported to the president. The presidential office stated that Lee plans to respond directly to those that reflect a strong public consensus or are deemed particularly timely.
Lee also shared the Google Form link on his Facebook page, pledging to respond sincerely to public inquiries.
"State affairs cannot be driven solely by discussions held at a desk. The people must be at the center of government," he wrote. "I will fulfill my promise to listen directly to the public and find answers in the field."
The office added that it will continue to expand communication channels and deliver changes that people can notice in their daily lives.
Meanwhile, Lee operated a similar platform during his tenure as leader of the ruling Democratic Party (DP), gathering public opinion on policy issues.
