Chief's Message
Greeting
“It gives me great pleasure to extend my greetings on the occasion of my appointment as the 10th Chief of the National Assembly Research Service.”
- Since its establishment in 2007, the National Assembly Research Service (NARS) has served as the sole research arm of the legislative branch in Korea that covers all subjects of state affairs. As the National Assembly think tank, the NARS’s primary function is to provide confidential memos and reports on current issues to and standing committees and Members of the National Assembly in support of their legislative roles granted by the Constitution.
- Over the past 17 years, the NARS has produced more than 90,000 confidential memos and published over 4,000 research reports with accumulated expertise and insight, governed by the core principle of nonpartisanship. The NARS will continue its effort to facilitate discussions during the legislative process to reflect the perspectives from people with diverse needs.
- The NARS is dedicated to serving the National Assembly members in their parliamentary activities that will pave the way for a sustainable and prosperous future for all. Going forward, the NARS is committed to remaining competent and taking preemptive actions against rapid changes in legislation and policies at home and abroad under effective leadership.
- I am deeply grateful for your support and continued interest in the NARS.
Lee Kwan-Hu
Chief of the National Assembly Research Service
