He continued, "Efforts to strengthen the international competitiveness of our companies must take priority in response to changes in domestic and international markets," adding, "I want to contribute to making sustainable growth of our economy possible and creating a society where everyone prospers together by enhancing win-win cooperation efforts not only between large and small-medium enterprises but also among various economic and social actors."
