Moon, Yoon to hold first meeting Monday

President Moon Jae-in and President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol will hold their first meeting at Cheong Wa Dae this week, their aides said Sunday. The two are set to hold a dinner meeting at the Sangchunje Guest House, Monday, 19 days after Yoon was elected Moon's successor, Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson Park Kyung-mee and Yoon's spokesperson Kim Eun-hye said in separate press briefings. Moon and Yoon will be accompanied by presidential chief of staff Yoo Young-min and Yoon's top aide, Rep. Chang Je-won. The decision on their meeting was finalized after Moon offered to meet Yoon at the "earliest possible" date, while Yoon expressed his hope to meet without any agenda and engage in "candid" dialogue, according to the briefings. Their meeting comes amid controversies over some of Yoon's plans, including a push for the relocation of the presidential office to the defense ministry compound in Seoul's central district of Yongsan.
