Choi Kyoung-hwan (right), floor leader of the ruling Saenuri Party, and Jun Byung-hun, floor leader of the main opposition Democratic Party, talk in whispers Thursday at a party in celebration of the publication of a book by Shin Hak-yong, a Democrat, held at the National Assembly Members` Office building in Yeouido, Seoul. After passing a bill in cooperation for an arrest of Lee Seok-ki, a lawmaker of the minor opposition United Progressive Party, the ruling and opposition parties began to negotiate for the schedule of a regular session of the National Assembly only to find a huge gap between their stances on pending issues.
