[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] UK Prime Minister Liz Truss advised her successor, Rishi Sunak, to "be bold" in her farewell speech on the 25th.
According to foreign media, in her farewell speech, Prime Minister Truss said that the UK Conservative Party should seize the opportunities created by Brexit (the UK's withdrawal from the EU), lower taxes, and continue policies supporting Ukraine against Russia.
Truss, who was blamed for turmoil such as the pound's collapse and rising UK government bond yields, earned the dubious distinction of being the shortest-serving prime minister in UK history. However, she did not apologize for the chaos during her tenure. Truss described her time as prime minister as "a great honor."
