[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 29th, Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "To solve the problem of young people in our society fighting a war rather than competing due to lack of opportunities, and the intensifying social conflicts where friends become enemies, we must achieve growth recovery that increases the total amount of opportunities even slightly."

After visiting the construction site of Seongnam 1st Industrial Complex Neighborhood Park in the afternoon, Candidate Lee told reporters, "The most important first pledge is growth recovery."

He emphasized, "If we alleviate inequality and unfairness in our society, some growth potential will be restored there as well. The country must swiftly achieve industrial transformation through large-scale investment to overcome the crises of the pandemic, climate change, the 4th Industrial Revolution era, and the digital transformation era." He added, "More importantly, we must recover the growth of our society and continue to focus on that."

This is connected to his first pledge during the primary process, 'Transformative Fair Growth.' The core of Candidate Lee's transformative fair growth is large-scale infrastructure investment led by the government, discovering and supporting future industries, rapid industrial restructuring, and creating quality jobs.

Candidate Lee is scheduled to announce major pledges after the launch of the campaign committee on the 2nd of next month, following consultations with the party's Policy Committee and the Democratic Research Institute.
