SEOUL, Jan. 12 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung is set to host a luncheon with religious leaders from major faith groups Monday to discuss ways to promote national unity, Cheong Wa Dae said.

The event was arranged to foster social cohesion, restore public trust and gather views from religious communities on overcoming division and conflict to move toward coexistence and unity, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said in a written briefing.

The luncheon at Cheong Wa Dae will bring together leaders from the Buddhist and Protestant communities. From the Catholic Church, Archbishop Chung Soon-taick of the Archdiocese of Seoul and Bishop Lee Yong-hoon, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea, have also been invited.
