President Park Geun-hye will meet with leaders of the opposition parties next week, Cheong Wa Dae announced Thursday.
"President Park will hold a three-way meeting with Saenuri Party Chairman Kim Moo-sung and New Politics Alliance for Democracy (NPAD) leader Moon Jae-in at the presidential office, Tuesday," presidential spokesman Min Kyung-wook said at a briefing.
"Park is likely to explain the outcome of her trip to the Middle East."
Park made a trip last week to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
Along with her overseas trip, as part of efforts to revive the slumping economy, Park is expected to ask for bipartisan cooperation to pass various economy-related bills pending at the National Assembly as well as support for her push to reform the debt-ridden civil servants' pension system.
Park met Kim and Moon during an event to commemorate the 96th anniversary of the March 1, 1919 Independence Movement Day and agreed to invite them to Cheong Wa Dae after returning home from the four-nation trip.
It will mark the first time that President Park will have met with Kim and Moon at the same time.
In addition, the meeting carries extra significance, given that Park will meet Moon for the first time in more than two years after edging out Moon by a slight margin of 3.6 percentage points in the 2012 presidential election.
After his election as leader of the main opposition party last month, Moon proposed a meeting with President Park to discuss ways to deal with the sluggish economy.
"As President Park and Chairman Moon are meeting for the first time since the election, there's a high chance they will cooperate on issues they can cooperate on, but also exchange critical remarks on overall principles underlying state affairs," NPAD lawmaker Kim Hyun-mee said in a briefing.
Separately, President Park will also meet Prime Minister Lee Wan-koo, National Assembly Speaker Chung Ui-hwa, Supreme Court Chief Justice Yang Seung-tae, Constitutional Court President Park Han-chul and National Election Commission Chairman Lee In-bok at her office to brief them on her Middle East trip, the presidential spokesman announced later in the day.
