[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] President Moon Jae-in stated in his Christmas message posted on social networking service (SNS) on the 25th, "We are moving toward the light. We will strive to make the world warmer."

President Moon said, "I hope this Christmas will be a time to embrace each other and be a hope for one another. I send my condolences to all those suffering from COVID-19, especially those who have lost family members and those who are bedridden."

President Moon added, "Christmas is a time to share love and warmth. Jesus came to the lowest places in the world. The hands of those who check if their neighbors are not in pain, if they have eaten, and if their rooms are warm are the heart of Jesus."

Meanwhile, President Moon explained, "On December 25, 1897, Jeongdong Chapel collected donations for the ‘poor and the sick.’ On Christmas in 1921, a doctor in Yeongdong, Chungbuk, provided free medical examinations and medicine to patients."

President Moon added, "The following year, Ewha students made and sent over a thousand clothes to compatriots in Russia and Manchuria. With Jesus coming to this land, our hearts became warmer."
