문대통령, 이인영 통일부 장관 임명...임기 시작
New Unification Minister, Lee In-young, started his term today.
As he began his term, Lee said he would do his utmost to make the unification ministry the center of inter-Korean relations based on bold changes and strategic moves.
Lee, who served as floor leader for the ruling Democratic Party, was nominated earlier this month to replace Kim Yeon-chul who resigned over strained ties between Seoul and Pyeongyang.
The National Assembly adopted Lee's hearing report last week amid a boycott from the main opposition, the United Future Party... which had taken issue with a refusal to submit certain reference materials requested by party members.
