It is led by a ministerial-level Minister for Government Policy Coordination unlike Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister who leads PMS and serves at a vice-ministerial level. The OPC Minister chairs the Vice Ministers' Council (Korean: 차관회의)[1] which supports State Council which is composed of ministers and led by the President and often Prime Minister.
