If America would withdraw from South Korea, there could be a power struggle between such as China and Japan.

But such IMF pressure is very much helpful for me to push such a, you know, reform. So in this sense I think IMF is very much helpful for alien society.

There is some sign that North Korea is changing recently. There is ongoing successful negotiation to have a military talk to Pyongyang, which has been stopped for seven years.

Democracy is the absolute value that makes for human dignity, as well as the only road to sustained economic development and social justice.

So now we are pushing economic reform, bank reform and enterprise reform. So we can finish that reform this year, in September or October. Then our economy may be much more, you know, normalized.

Well, that is very imperative to let North Korea open door to outside.
