- 5 years ago
문 대통령, "평화경제로 일본 경제 따라잡을 수 있어"
President Moon Jae-in says one way to overcome what he calls Japan's "selfish" retaliatory trade restrictions... is by carrying through the Korean peace process and by outdoing the Japanese economy with prosperous inter-Korean projects.
It's the second time he's issued such a statement in three days.
Shin Se-min at the Blue House.
President Moon Jae-in's confident message on Japan's unjust economic retaliatory measures is that South Korea will turn the measures into an opportunity to push the economy forward.
"Japan can never stop our economy from leaping forward. Rather its export curbs will be a stimulant in fostering our resolve to become an economic power."
Speaking during a weekly meeting with his top aides,... the president said he was able to realize once again the importance of promoting economic growth based on inter-Korean peace.
"The recent incident reaffirmed our sense of the urgent need to create a peace-driven economy. The realization of a peace economy through inter-Korean economic cooperation will allow us to immediately catch up with Japan’s advantages."
The so-called peace economy, part of President Moon's envisioned plan of peace and economic development reinforcing one another,... and providing a new growth engine for the regional economy.
And the president said his country shouldn't be easily swayed on the peace economy, nor give up pushing for it because of the fluctuating relationship between North Korea and the U.S.
He said as a responsible member of the international community,... his country will continue to uphold the "universal value of humanity and international norms", take the lead in establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula and stand strong on the international stage.
"Perhaps confirming that the trade dispute between Seoul and Tokyo will be a long-lasting issue,... the president urged his administration to ensure the government's stated policy objectives are fully reflected when drawing up next year's budget.
