SEOUL, Aug. 26 (Yonhap) -- President Yoon Suk Yeol will host a dinner meeting with the leadership of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) later this week, party officials said Monday.
PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, floor leader Choo Kyung-ho, five Supreme Council members and the party's policy chief are expected to attend the meeting on Friday, according to party officials.
