The ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) and the government reaffirmed their commitment Thursday to push for the passage of a special bill on implementing Korea's investment package for the United States amid objections from the main opposition party. During their consultations at the National Assembly, DPK lawmakers and trade ministry officials agreed on the need for the swift passage of the bill in order to ease bilateral trade uncertainties. "The main point of today's discussion was that it is important to swiftly pass the U.S. investment bill to reassure (the U.S.) that Korea is making sincere efforts to uphold its trust-based relationship with the U.S. and honor its commitments, and that we are actually implementing them," Rep. Kim Won-i told reporters after the meeting. "Passing the U.S. investment bill is the first step toward removing uncertainties between the two countries," he added. The U.S. investment bill was introduced by the DPK in November last year to implement the trade deal reached at the summit talks between President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump. Th
