Acting President Han Deok-soo, who ran the state administration instead due to the approval of the impeachment motion by President Yoon Suk Yeol, will prevent National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik.
Han is expected to emphasize active cooperation between the government and the National Assembly for stable state administration.
Let's connect to the site and see together.
[Won-Sik Woo / Speaker of the National Assembly]
In an important phase, he took on the big responsibility of acting president. This is the third time the impeachment is being prosecuted against the president, and impeachment is not a good thing for the nation. However, since it is a gathering of the will of the people and the people correcting the national misfortune, I think it is more important than anything else to deal with the situation and stabilize the state affairs from now on. In this regard, the grand principle of state administration should be a process of properly establishing the grand principle that the center of state administration is the people.
I said that yesterday, too.Ma thinks that in the future, state administration should restore external credibility and restore the people's livelihood economy, and work with it at the center. First of all, I decided not to impeach him. In that sense, the government and the National Assembly should work together to resolve internal and external unrest and quickly resolve concerns in all areas, such as economy, diplomacy, defense, and so on, to overcome this crisis. The Speaker of the National Assembly also intends to actively cooperate to resolve the uncertainty in our economy and security. The people's livelihood sector is even more special. The people complain that the alley economy and the bottom economy are very difficult.
In this regard, the role of the speakers of the National Assembly, who are very close to the bottom economy, is very important, and that is why the National Assembly should take greater responsibility and play a role in overcoming this. In the process, I also sent a letter to the parliaments asking for trust in the democratic resilience of the Republic of Korea. In the future, I think it is a sign of the strongest resilience of democracy that we show our stable appearance to countries around the world to quickly stabilize the state of affairs and people's livelihoods.
I know that our acting president also thinks that we need to overcome this crisis by cooperating with the National Assembly, and as soon as you became an acting president yesterday, you called me and made an appointment today, and I think this is an important start for cooperation. There may be inevitable conflicts in the political upheaval process called impeachment.Ma thinks that the more the ruling and opposition parties and the government work together to stabilize the people, and there are some differences today. Nevertheless, it is very important to form a national consultative body between the National Assembly and the government and operate it as soon as possible. I would appreciate it if the acting president could do so to work together to ensure that the National Assembly and the National Assembly are the people at the center of state administration and that the National Assembly is a partner in state administration. In particular, I will talk about various stories related to this today in the closed-door process and look forward to a lot of discussion.
[Han Deok-soo / Acting President]
First of all, thank you very much for your immediate acceptance as soon as I called the Speaker to ask for some time during such a difficult time. The presidential impeachment motion was passed yesterday. As acting president and prime minister, I feel a heavy responsibility. I will do my best to believe that the prompt settlement of the current situation and stable state administration are the last duties of my long public service. From now on, the most important thing is to ensure that the safety of the country and the daily life of the people are maintained without any shaking.
The government is committed to maintaining trust with Korea, the U.S., Korea, Japan and many of our allies, strengthening our security posture, and ensuring that the people's livelihoods, particularly those of those in need, and the public security, work smoothly in all areas of government.
Even before I just visited the Speaker, all the members of the State Council gathered to check the current situation.
In this process, I think all judgments and implementations made by the government should be in accordance with the Constitution and laws and should be for the future of the Republic of Korea we love. The government will do its best to overcome the crisis, looking only at the people. I will put all the criteria of the government's judgment in the future of the Constitution, the law, and the country. To this end, the Government will work closely with and communicate with the National Assembly, as the Speaker has just emphasized. I don't think both the chairman and the ruling and opposition parties are different in thinking about the country and the people. The government will try to narrow the differences with listening and humility. The National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, whom I usually respect, has made a great contribution to democratization in our country and has a strong belief in the constitutional order, and I always respect him. I look forward to the stability of state affairs as soon as possible through cooperation between the Government, ruling and opposition parties, under the reasonable leadership of the Speaker. The government will first ask for cooperation. Thank you.
