President Park Geun-hye plans to meet with the new floor leaders of the three major political parties this week, a ruling party official said Tuesday, in the first face-to-face meeting following last month's parliamentary elections.

The meeting is set to take place at Cheong Wa Dae, South Korea's presidential office, on Friday, Chung Jin-suk, floor leader of the ruling Saenuri Party, told reporters.

Chung said his counterparts from the main opposition Minjoo Party and the People's Party will attend the meeting along with chief policymakers of the three parties.

He said Park and other participants could discuss how to cooperate on state affairs, including people's livelihoods.

The meeting could set the tone for Park's relations with the rival parties in the new parliament.

Park's ruling Saenuri Party suffered a serious defeat in the April 13 polls.

The Saenuri Party won 122 out of 300 seats up for grabs, while the main opposition Minjoo Party and the People's Party secured 123 and 38 seats, respectively. Seventeen other seats are held by other minor party members and independents. (Yonhap)
