Assembly regular session opens

National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seug gives an address at the main hall of the National Assembly, Wednesday, to mark the opening of the regular session this year. During the session that will last for the next 100 days, ruling and opposition parties are expected to battle fiercely over a variety of pending issues, including the passage of a controversial “fake news” bill, in a bid to take an advantageous position ahead of the upcoming presidential election slated for next March.
