President Moon: "The History of the Republic of Korea is a History of Resurrection"

Easter SNS Message: "Resurrection is a Message of Hope for Everyone"... "Doing Our Best Until the Last Confirmed Case is Fully Recovered"

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] President Moon Jae-in stated in his Easter SNS message on the 12th, "The history of the Republic of Korea is a 'history of resurrection,'" adding, "From liberation from colonial rule, democracy from dictatorship, to economic growth from absolute poverty, we have achieved these by trusting and encouraging each other and through our own strength."

President Moon said, "We will create 'new hope' to return to the 'new normal,'" and added, "Especially at a time when hope is needed, we have reached Easter. Many churches have reduced their services, and believers celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ at home. I thank the Korean churches and believers who have practiced great love through the faith of resurrection."

President Moon emphasized, "Resurrection is a mystery to believers but also a message of hope to the general public. It is hope that comes to us overcoming death."

He evaluated, "Like Jesus Christ, who transformed the 'history of suffering' into a 'history of hope' through resurrection, our people are turning crises into hope by practicing 'courage and love' during difficult times. I am proud of our people who are protecting the preciousness of human beings and freedom together through sacrifices and dedication, big and small."

President Moon said, "There are still many challenges ahead of us, and we cannot let our guard down in quarantine until the last confirmed patient is fully recovered, but we will overcome this with one heart and rise again," adding, "Many predict that after 'COVID-19,' the world will stand at a civilizational turning point."

He continued, "We will face a distinctly different world in all fields including medical care and quarantine, economy and industry, diplomacy and culture. Like the resurrection of Jesus Christ, to return to the 'new normal,' we must create 'new hope.' The government will do its best until the moment the last confirmed patient is fully recovered and prepare for a new life for the Republic of Korea."

President Moon added, "On Easter morning 2020, I sincerely thank and comfort the people who are joining forces to overcome 'COVID-19' without even enjoying the early spring that has come quickly, and I pray that everyone’s homes will be filled with love and harmony this Easter."
