Lee reassures farmers on CPTPP, land survey

President Lee Jae Myung met farmers and fishers on Monday (Oct. 26) to address concerns over South Korea's potential CPTPP entry and the comprehensive farmland survey, promising they will not suffer unfair damage. Yonhap reports Lee said the government will handle the farmland survey and CPTPP issues properly, and that the survey was a legal proposal by Song Mi-ryeong, not a disadvantageous measure. KBS World adds Lee called CPTPP membership 'inevitable' in the long term but said Korea is unlikely to join during his term, stressing the need to lay groundwork. The meeting, held at the presidential office, included officials and industry participants to discuss agricultural worries and field confusion from the survey.
