President Yoon Seok-yeol’s Second Anniversary Press Conference Highlights Cooperation and Communication in Politics

Press conference on the second anniversary of President Yoon Seok-yeol’s inauguration

May 9, 2024, Yongsan Presidential Office

[윤석열 대통령]

Q. After the general elections you placed emphasis on “cooperation and communication”. Are there practical measures? Cho Kuk, are you willing to meet Lee Jun-seok?

″I said that I would strengthen communication, especially with the media and with the political world. No politician will draw a line or anything, and we will always keep it open.

And this cooperative governance is not something that can be enjoyed in one bowl, and our politics has been progressing for a long time, creating excessive conflict to the point that it seems like it has gone too far. So, talking about cooperation, I met Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, so I don’t think the atmosphere will change overnight and cooperation won’t be there.

I think cooperation is something that is based on tenacity, patience, sincerity, trust, dialogue and mutual sincerity, the attitude to work hard for cooperation for people and the attitude to never give up on this cooperation is important.”

Q. Did you ever request “Han Dong-hoon’s resignation” through your staff before the general election? Is your relationship now estranged?

″Well, I think the chief of staff, the head nurse and the president Han Dong-hoon said something like that at lunch, but it seems there was a misunderstanding. And this is exactly what solved the problem. I solved it.

And although President Dong-Hoon Han’s entry into politics was brief, I think he is now firmly established as a politician because he led the general election as the chairman of the emergency committee and chairman of the general election committee of a major political party. So I think he will do well as a politician in the future. YES.”
