President Moon Jae-in has addressed the National Assembly for the second time since taking
office.
Our chief Blue House correspondent Moon Connyoung is live on the phone for us with the details.
Connyoung, how would describe President Moon's second speech in parliament but his very first
state-of-the nation on annual budget approval?
It was the president's most earnest appeal for budget approval before the majority-led
parliament.
In his second state-of-the nation to the National Assembly earlier this morning, President Moon
Jae-in optimistically outlined a bold agenda highlighted by social welfare, justice, economy
and security.
If his first parliamentary address focused mainly on the need for a swift approval of
extra budget, today's half-an-hour long speech was more of a general overview of the policies
related to all state affairs explaining why it is that the government is requesting for
the roughly 3-hundred-80 billion U.S. dollar budget for 2018.
That's a spike of a little over 7-percent from this year.
Using powerpoint presentation, the president throughly reviewed the administration's policies
in security, economy, people's livelihoods, social justice and others.
Give us a brief wrap up of each, if you can.
Well, the entire speeh can be broken down to three huge chunks.
Security, economy and amendment of the Constitution which he championed during his presidential
campaign earlier in the year.
On security, the president's message was: Not only will South Korea never tolerate a
nuclear North Korea, it will never seek to possess nuclear weapons either.
Take note.
The president's vow comes amid the opposition parties' call to redeploy U.S. tactical nuclear
weapons to South Korea.
Mr. Moon established that the government's number one goal in security was to establish
peace on the Korean peninsula but that maximum retaliation would be guaranteed in case of
any military provocation by North Korea.
Emphasized again in this part of the speech was close coordination with the global community,
super strong South Korea, U.S. alliance, AND that Seoul will not be taking the backseat
in dealing with North Korea.
Regarding the economy, President Moon again advocated his policy for "people-centered
economy," stressing that his government is doing all that it can to drive Asia's fourth-largest
economy back on the right track.
Noting that policies aimed at creating an economy that is people-centerd and innovation-oriented
would improve social welfare and people's livelihoods, the president stressed that the
proposed government budget for 2018 could be the first step in making that very change.
President Moon outlined them as job creation, greater household income and better public
safety and security.
Last but not least, Mr. Moon struck a note of determination for constitutional amendment...
rushing lawmakers to begin discussions reminding them that in order for the amendment to be
made, it needs to be put to a national vote in the upcoming local elections next June.
The constitutional revision under consideration includes giving more power to local governments
to guarantee autonomy and political reforms that ensures more rights for the average Koreans.
