이총리 "정치권 싸우더라도 국회는 열어야…추경 심의해달라"
Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon has called on the National Assembly to start deliberations on the government's extra budget proposal.
Speaking at a meeting with cabinet ministers on Thursday,... Lee said that despite their differences,... lawmakers still need to get to work on the bill, worth 5-point-6 billion U.S. dollar,... which was submitted three weeks ago.
He said the budget is needed to tackle downside economic risks... and to deal with the aftermath of recent natural disasters.
Lee also advised relevant ministries to come up with measures to minimize the impact of heatwaves and typhoons this summer,... and called on officials to keep up the government's drive to deregulate.
