Lawmakers are set to hear from the ministers of non-economy related departments.
Questions are likely to focus on the diplomatic and defense fields.
In particular,.... the government's stance on the inter-Korean summit set for September,.... details on why U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's trip to Pyongyang was called off,..... and on whether Defense Minister Song Young-moo should retain his post.
The session was postponed for 15 minutes due to a dispute regarding the attendance of Presidential Economic Advisor Kim Hyun-chul as a substitute for Presidential Chief of Staff Im Jong-seok.
