Forced march to improve people’s livelihood following U.S. tour
Introducing the results of the “48 diplomatic events” visit to the U.S. Promulgation of the ‘Four Teacher Rights Act’… “Speed for follow-up measures” Request for all-out efforts to stabilize prices ahead of Chuseok
▲ President Yoon Seok-yeol is giving opening remarks while presiding over a cabinet meeting at the Presidential Office Building in Yongsan on the 25th. At the meeting, President Yoon explained the diplomatic achievements related to attending the UN General Assembly and ordered people to take care of the people’s livelihood before the Chuseok holiday. Provided by the Presidential Office President Yoon Seok-yeol said on the 25th, “If we are confident that the global market and expo are ours and throw ourselves into it, they will eventually become ours.” President Yoon, who emphasized that the results of his overseas trip are not far from the national economy, ordered the State Council members to focus on the people’s livelihood ahead of the Chuseok holiday.
President Yoon said this at a cabinet meeting hosted at the Yongsan Presidential Office on this day, explaining the achievements of his visit to the United States last week, including attending the United Nations General Assembly and holding a series of bilateral talks. He emphasized, “We must be confident in our goals and give everything to achieve them.”
President Yoon summarized the schedule of his visit to the United States by saying, “We held a total of 48 diplomatic events,” and then added, “We focused on expanding the playing field where our people and companies can play to their heart’s content.” “Our domestic market of 50 million people must expand into a global market of 500 million or 5 billion people,” he said. He then instructed, “To ensure that the issues discussed at the meeting lead to the overseas expansion of our companies and the creation of jobs, we must carefully take follow-up measures such as forming an intergovernmental consultative body, dispatching economic missions, and promoting public-private cooperation.”
Warning messages about North Korea-Russia military closeness were also repeatedly expressed. President Yoon said, “If the reality continues where a permanent member of the UN Security Council (Russia) launches an armed invasion, starts a war, and neglects and helps a regime that is focusing on nuclear development in blatant violation of Security Council resolutions, the current UN Security Council will be self-contradictory.” “We strongly pointed out that the voices of criticism and reform are bound to grow,” he said.
At the Cabinet meeting, four laws protecting teaching rights, including the Teacher Status Act, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Early Childhood Education Act, and the Basic Education Act, were proposed, passed, and promulgated. President Yoon requested follow-up measures, saying, “When teachers’ teaching rights are guaranteed, students’ right to learning and human rights are also guaranteed.”
Ahead of the Chuseok holiday, efforts to take care of the people’s livelihood have begun in earnest. At the Cabinet meeting, President Yoon said, “We will do our best to provide our people with plenty and comfort as always during Chuseok,” and at the Chief Secretaries’ meeting, he also asked, “Please continue to take good care of the Chuseok economy and prices.” In line with his message for the people’s livelihood on this day, it is reported that President Yoon will focus on measures for the people’s livelihood during his Chuseok holiday, including a schedule to meet Koreans who were victims of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima.
At the Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo directly reported the results of his visit to China, including his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, to President Yoon. Prime Minister Han reported his thoughts on the Korea-China-Japan meeting with President Xi, trade between Korea and China, expansion of people-to-people exchanges, and shuttle diplomacy at each level. Regarding the mention of shuttle diplomacy between Korea and China, an official from the Presidential Office added, “The purpose is to further expand exchanges between Korea and China at all levels, including the ministerial and working-level levels.”
Meanwhile, it was reported that President Yoon suffered a nosebleed during a cabinet meeting that was closed to the public and quickly stopped the bleeding. An official from the President’s Office said, “It appears that he was overworked after returning home, immediately attending a local event in Gongju, South Chungcheong Province, and continuing his schedule the next day.”
