[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] The Presidential Transition Committee announced on the 27th that it has set "A Republic of Korea that Leaps Forward Again, A Nation Where Citizens Prosper Together" as the national vision and established 'National Interest, Practicality, Fairness, Common Sense' as the principles of state administration.


Choi Jonghak, a member of the Planning and Coordination Subcommittee of the Transition Committee, said at a press conference in Tongui-dong on the same day, "We have been formulating national tasks with the aspiration that encompasses the nation and its people in mind."


Choi explained, "'A Republic of Korea that Leaps Forward Again' reflects the mission of the times," adding, "Considering changes in the world order, the wave of knowledge informatization, the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and the current issues of low growth and polarization we face, it means that Korea must make a great leap once again after industrialization and democratization."


The Transition Committee stated that 'A Nation Where Citizens Prosper Together' reflects the demands of the people. Choi said, "Disparities by region, class, and generation are increasing, and as shown by suicide rates, elderly poverty rates, national happiness index, and total fertility rate, improvements in citizens' lives are insufficient," adding, "The people are asking the Yoon Suk-yeol administration to manage state affairs so that each individual's life improves, and we have incorporated that demand."


The Transition Committee also established the 'Principles of State Administration' that public officials must keep in mind to promote 110 national tasks and 520 implementation tasks. Choi conveyed that 'National Interest, Practicality, Fairness, Common Sense' are the principles the Yoon Suk-yeol administration aims to uphold.


Choi said, "All national tasks must be pursued based on the interests of the people," and "Practicality means executing policies based on which policies benefit the people more."



He continued, "Fairness and common sense are principles that were also the reason for the birth of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration and are standards that must be upheld during state administration," emphasizing, "It is a principle that does not allow cheating and privileges."
