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

I have no child to inherit my properties. You, the people, are my only family, and to make you happy is the reason I do politics.

My father's biggest achievement was to motivate the South Korean people, to show them we could become prosperous if we worked hard. He taught me to love my country, and serve my country.

South Korea's economy is still difficult. I will create a country where nobody worries about putting food on the table.

Different times need different types of leadership.

I have no family to take care of.

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.
