It is time to privatize unification policy

President Yoon, my proposal to you: free unification policy from all the ballast of the previous decades - privatize it!

Summit should focus on more specific steps on security, economy

Invest in culture and education

Steer Korea toward another take-off

I convey my heartfelt congratulations to you on taking the helm of Team Korea for the next five years.
