The government plans to submit revision bills for Sejong City to the National Assembly today, a senior official said Monday.

The decision was made at a government-ruling party policy coordination meeting held at the prime minister’s residence in Seoul, Monday.

``Participants agreed to submit the revision plans for adequate deliberation on the bills ahead of an extraordinary National Assembly which is to open early next month,’’ the official said on condition of anonymity.

Last Tuesday, the Cabinet approved bills calling for the cancellation of a project to relocate nine ministries and four government agencies to a new administrative town in South Chungcheong Province.
