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

National partition is a sorrow that touches all Koreans, but for me it is brought to the fore by unimaginable personal suffering.

In human life, economics precedes politics or culture.

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 understand that the end does not justify the means. And this should be a lasting value for democracy.
