I have no family to take care of.

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.

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.

All facts prove that the Saenuri Party is a group of traitors who stoop to any infamy to realize its ambition to seize power.

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

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.
