Pres. Park, opposition party leader clash over state textbook issue / YTN

President Park Geun-Hye held a rare meeting with leaders of the ruling and the opposition political parties yesterday (Thursday) but the rival camps only confirmed their differences over key government policies. Park met with Rep. Kim Moo-Sung, chairman of the ruling Saenuri Party, and Rep. Moon Jae-In, head of the main opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy, along with the floor leaders of the two rival parties. However, the nearly two-hour meeting at the presidential Cheong Wa Dae, the second of its kind this year, turned out to be fruitless due to clashes between Park and the opposition leaders, according to separate news conferences by Kim and Moon following the Cheong Wa Dae meeting. The NPAD, backed by liberal civic and academic groups, has strongly opposed the Park Geun-Hye administration's plan to reintroduce state-authored history textbooks for secondary school students from 2017. Kim told reporters after the Cheong Wa Dae meeting that Park renewed her calls for unbiased history textbooks, citing that most of the current ones have been written by left-wing historians. Moon told reporters at a separate news meeting that he "felt hopeless" as he had confirmed how much Park and Kim's view about the history textbooks issue defies common sense. Meanwhile, Kim said that during the meeting Park also asked the rival parties for early passage of a set of bills on labor reforms and measures to recover the country's sluggish economy, including the ratification of the free trade agreement with China signed in June. ▶ 기사 원문 : http://www.ytn.co.kr/_pn/1207_2015102... ▶ 제보 안내 : http://goo.gl/gEvsAL, 모바일앱, 8585@ytn.co.kr, #2424 ▣ YTN 유튜브 채널 구독 : http://goo.gl/Ytb5SZ [ 한국 뉴스 채널 와이티엔 / Korea News Channel YTN ]
