Pres. Moon delivers speech at the National Assembly
President Moon Jae-In delivered a speech at the National Assembly regarding next year's budget, the fourth speech of its kind that he has given since taking office in 2017.
In his policy speech before the National Assembly, Moon pledged a strong push for the far-reaching systemic reform of South Korea's public sectors, including education and the prosecution.
He stressed the importance of promoting fairness to achieve the key policy goals of innovative, inclusive and peace-based growth.
The President was apparently referring to months of social split over his nomination of Cho Kuk as Justice Minister. However, Cho stepped down about a month later in connection with a series of corruption allegations involving his family.
On prosecution reform, Moon said the government has made efforts to eliminate irregularities and unfairness prevalent in society, but that the people's demands were much higher than that.
Moon also asked lawmakers to pass pending prosecution reform bills at an early date.
