[정치]After taking office, the fourth verse 3/1 commemoration… Why is President Moon deeply concerned?

[앵커]

Tomorrow is the 102nd anniversary.

President Moon Jae-in, who celebrates the fourth three days after inauguration, also worked hard to refine the memorial address without any holidays or schedule.

In particular, this year’s worries about the commemoration of the Three Days are deeper than ever in the face of the Korean-Japanese relationship.

During the Japanese colonial period, it is a day to remember the sorrows and will of independence of the people who lost the country.

At the same time, President Moon Jae-in has always emphasized future-oriented cooperation with Japan for peace on the Korean Peninsula and overcoming Corona 19.

[문재인 대통령 (2019년 3·1절 기념사) : 역사를 거울삼아 한국과 일본이 굳건히 손잡을 때 평화의 시대가 성큼 우리 곁으로 다가올 것입니다.]

[문재인 대통령 (2020년 3·1절 기념사) : 안중근 의사는 일본의 침략행위에 무력으로 맞섰지만, 일본에 대한 적대를 위한 것이 아니라 함께 동양 평화를 이루자는 것이 본뜻임을 분명히 밝혔습니다.]

The message to Japan that will be included in this year’s March 1 commemorative remark is more noticeable.

President Moon has been actively expressing his willingness to improve relations since the beginning of the year in a situation where the Korean-Japanese relations are stuck over the years.

The US administration of Biden is also pressing on improving Korea-Japan relations to establish a strong ROK-US-Japan cooperation system.

Therefore, President Moon is expected to choose the level of appeasement message within the so-called’two track’ keynote that the past history and future-oriented Korea-Japan relations are resolved separately.

Japan’s response can also be expected for a proposal to successfully host the Tokyo Olympics in joint response to the corona crisis and to imprint the peace and cooperation system on the Korean Peninsula in the international community.

However, it is still difficult to find a fundamental solution in that the current situation of infarction began with a compulsory conscription judgment.

On the 3rd day of the 102nd anniversary, President Moon was given the challenge of taking care of the pain of the nation and opening a gap for dialogue with Japan.
