President of Taiwan’s Legislature Yu Shyi-kun says he hopes the Legislature’s second session of the year will begin earlier than usual. Yu says that pressing matters, like a third stimulus package for COVID-19 relief and constitutional reform, are on the Legislature’s docket.
All party caucuses must agree on an opening date for the Legislature’s sessions. In past years, the second session of the year has tended to begin at the end of September.
However, Yu says that because there are important issues to handle, he hopes that party caucuses can agree on an opening date closer to mid-September.
