President Yoon Suk-yeol was sworn in as president on Tuesday and promised to rebuild the nation as a responsible, respected member of the international community based on democracy and a free market economy.
He vowed an unspecified but bold plan to assist North Korea to rebuild its moribund economy, if the North gives up its nuclear program.
After the speech, Cheong Wa Dae was streamed live on screens as it was being opened to the public, as crowds who were waiting to enter from behind the closed main entrance gate flooded inside.
