The party also revealed four key policy agendas for successful governance: real estate policy and tax reform plans, pension reform, climate crisis response, and balanced national development.

On July 3, Kim Seonghoe, Floor Spokesperson of the Democratic Party, said after the second session of the lawmakers’ workshop held at a hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, "It was discussed that we should quickly select secretaries for each standing committee and make preparations to ensure that the standing committees do not come to a standstill."

During the second session on the same day, Chun Junho, Senior Deputy Floor Leader for Parliamentary Affairs, presented the operational framework and management plans for the latter half of the National Assembly, while Han Jeongae, Policy Committee Chair, explained the major legislative tasks for the second year of the administration.

Kim, the Floor Spokesperson, conveyed, "The key message was about delivering results, achieving growth, and focusing on 2030," adding, "In addition to the legislative tasks designated by the government or the party, it was discussed that we should proactively identify and diligently address even the smaller but necessary bills within the standing committees."

The Democratic Party also decided to speed up legislative work ahead of the August 17 National Party Convention (National Congress).

Kim explained, "There was a suggestion to streamline and process laws centered on the three mega projects at a rapid pace," and added, "There was also a request to expedite the handling of the budget bill."

It was also reported that Han, the Policy Committee Chair, selected 67 key legislative initiatives to be promoted in the latter half and asked the party to begin substantive discussions as early as this month. The party also unveiled four major transformation goals: transformation of the economic and industrial sectors, transformation of life and safety, transformation for the climate future, and transformation of national systems.
