Lee reassures farmers on CPTPP, farmland survey

President Lee Jae Myung met with farmers and fishers on October 26 to address concerns over the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the nationwide farmland survey. Yonhap reports Lee acknowledged their worries and vowed to prevent unfair damage, saying, "여러분이 불의의 피해를 입는 일은..." (from Maeil Business). He noted that CPTPP entry is unlikely during his term but stressed the need to lay groundwork despite criticism, as Dong-A Ilbo reports. Regarding the farmland survey, Lee said it was a legal proposal by Agriculture Minister Song Mi-ryung and not a disadvantageous disposition, according to Yonhap. KBS World adds that Lee had earlier ordered a temporary halt to the CPTPP application this month to listen to stakeholders.
