He pledged, "We will provide comprehensive support for the necessary legislation and budget centered on the Three Major Mega Projects Support Task Force (TF). In particular, we will consider upgrading the TF to a committee."

Additionally, he announced plans to focus the party's efforts on prioritizing the passage of key legislative bills related to major national policy tasks by December to ensure that the core policies of the current administration are implemented without disruption.

He also reiterated the need to reform the operating procedures of the National Assembly to promote more efficient legislative activities. Specifically, he mentioned various institutional improvement measures, such as reducing the time required for the fast-track legislative process and tightening the requirements for unlimited debate (filibuster).

He called on the government to take active measures to stabilize consumer prices, which are directly linked to the daily lives of the public.

Acting Leader Han remarked, "Not only petroleum products but also the prices of agricultural, livestock, and marine products have risen significantly, intensifying the burden felt by the public. I urge the government to monitor price trends in real time and to implement tailored measures swiftly and decisively."
