The new leader Lee Jay Meong pledges to “unite” a divided state

A few hours after winning the South Korean presidency, Lee Jay Meong pledged to “unite people” in his opening speech on Wednesday.

He enters his position at a time when the country is still struggling with the deep divisions, which were operated after the announcement of the shocking shock law of President Yun Suk Yol last December.

He told the public at the National Assembly: “I will start reviving the economy and recovering people.” “Regardless of those who supported these elections … I will be president of all people.”

For me, the liberal Democratic Party candidate, was elected by about 50 % of the vote.

He blamed political turmoil in the country for “political factions without any desire to work for people’s lives.”

“I will work to unite people,” he said, adding that “he will become president ending the division policy.”

But not only the home issues that he must face. Li also faces urgent foreign challenges – such as mobility in the US -Korean coalition under the new Trump administration, a balance between its relations with China and dealing with its closest neighbors in North Korea.

He also pledged to build a “flexible and practical government” and announced that the Economic Work Squad will be active immediately.
