I will try to work for greater reconciliation, cooperation and peace in North East Asia based on correct perception of history.

I will keep the promise I made to you to open a new era on the Korean peninsula, based on strong security and trust-based diplomacy.

Various channels of dialogue must be kept open to build trust. I will meet North Korea's leader if it is needed to develop relations between the two Koreas.

I know more than anyone the divergent views about my father. I want to be judged on my own merits.

I will never forget the will of the people who believed in me wherever I went during the election campaign.

This year marks 20 years since the Rwandan genocide -- the world's greatest humanitarian tragedy of the late 20th century. The international community had pledged 'never again' in the aftermath of the genocide in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda in the 1990s. Yet, we are witnessing today a different type of humanitarian disaster unfolding in Syria and Iraq.

I couldn't stand back and watch the strong economy that my father envisioned go to ruins.
