President Lee Jae Myung will invite civil society representatives to the Blue House on Sept. 4 for a discussion on current issues.

The presidential office said the meeting aims to hear voices from the field and narrow the distance between government policy and conditions experienced by citizens during the second year of the People Sovereignty Government.

Participants will come from areas including human rights, the environment, agriculture and fisheries, peace, and issues related to the past. The group will focus on practitioners working directly in those fields rather than organization leaders or senior figures.

Attendees will include Lee Seung-hoon, an executive committee chair of the Civil Society Organizations Network Council, and Ju Je-jae, a policy committee member of the Korean Progressive Federation. Senior officials responsible for listening and integration at the Blue House will also attend.
