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.

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.

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

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

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