The presidential office and the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) blamed each other, Thursday, following failed working-level talks aimed at arranging an official meeting between President Yoon Suk Yeol and DPK Chairman Lee Jae-myung.
Aides to President Yoon Suk Yeol and opposition leader Lee Jae-myung held their second meeting Thursday to coordinate the agenda for what would be the first-ever meeting between Yoon and Lee, but failed to reach an agreement, both sides said. Yoon proposed the meeting in a phone call with Lee last Friday, after the ruling People Power Party was routed in the April 10 parliamentary elections, leaving the National Asse.
