Seoul, Dec 19 South Korean President Moon Jae-in will receive the government's annual policy briefings for the final time this week, his office said on Sunday.
The 2022 briefings will begin Monday under the slogan, "Changes made with the people, a government fulfilling its responsibilities until the end", the presidential office or Cheong Wa Dae said in a statement.
"Through the policy briefings, we plan to go through the achievements made during the five years of the Moon Jae-in administration and check the government's policy directions and main project plans up until May 2022," Yonhap News Agency quoted the statement as saying.
Moon's single, five-year term is set to end in May 2022, and by law, he cannot seek re-election.
This year, the briefings will be submitted by paper because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
