Signal New government set a national vision, five goals and 123 national tasks without a transition committee

Summary

The Lee Jae-myung government took office after the impeachment without the usual presidential transition committee. To fill the institutional gap quickly, it used a State Affairs Planning Committee to set out a national vision and five national goals, including diplomacy and security centred on national interest. Under those goals it confirmed and announced 123 national tasks. The first of these tasks proposes constitutional revision as part of a vision of building what it calls the real Republic of Korea. The report reads this as a strong intention to revise the post-1987 constitution. It also argues that pushing the main tasks hard early in the term is what will let citizens feel results and raise their trust in government.
