President Lee Jae-myung has returned home after completing his state visit to France. During the visit, he met with President Macron and discussed cooperation in advanced fields such as defense industry and nuclear power. He also attended a film and video summit and announced Korea's investment plan for the video industry. The most urgent task after returning home is responding to the request from the United States for the dispatch of troops to the Strait of Hormuz. As the deployment decision needs to consider congressional approval and the possibility of Iran's backlash, it is expected to be approached cautiously. Resolving the controversies surrounding Kim Seung-won, nominee for Minister of Justice, and Yong Hye-in, nominee for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, is also an important task. The presidential office maintains its position that confirmation hearings must be held and will likely monitor public opinion trends.
