The theme of this year’s New Year’s greetings is “A country strong in crisis, a strong Korea.” The Blue House explained, “It contains the will of the whole people to unite to overcome the Corona 19 crisis wisely, and to leap forward to a stronger country that takes responsibility for the lives of the people and the future of the country.” President Moon’s message, emphasizing the unity and unity of the people, strongly embodies his will to complete the current policies.
First of all, President Moon expressed his gratitude and consolation for the people. President Moon said, “Last year was really hard. Everybody is hard enough to miss the normal daily life and make a wish. In the new year, I wish all of our people to be healthy and happy more than ever with a sincere heart,” he said. “The more cold the cold is, the more people’s warmth will be missed. Even though we can’t hold hands now, our hearts for each other have become more compassionate, and our willingness to overcome the corona has increased.”
In particular, for the quarantine/medical staff and essential workers, he said, “Thank you for the sacrifice in tears.” President Moon said, “Workers who worked harder in front of the economic crisis, companies that maintained employment with all their strength, volunteers and civic groups who gave strength to people in need, cultural artists and sportsmen who touched the hearts of the people, harmony. Many people, even from the religious world that bolstered the spirit of hope and hope, turned themselves into candles to light up the darkness of the corona,” he said.
He also showed pride in the so-called’K-defense’. President Moon said, “The Republic of Korea, which has saved both in quarantine and economy, was the ‘2020 self-portrait’ that the whole people drew together. That pride is solely for the people. Still, the difficulties continue.” “The body and mind can be exhausted. However, the proud achievements of K-Defense that our people have achieved will never fade.”
The keywords for the new year were’recovery’,’integration’ and’leap’. It is necessary to overcome the coronavirus with quarantine, vaccines, and treatments to restore precious daily life, to help the neighbors in need, including the 3rd disaster subsidy, and to integrate the mind. . It did not mention the necessity of expanding payment targets, such as the national disaster subsidies mentioned in the passport. The message that we must acknowledge the achievements in coping with Corona 19 and have pride has also been emphasized several times.
President Moon said, “We were never second-class, nor were we ever second. We have shown the people’s capabilities that other countries envy, including the world’s best digital technology, rapid economic recovery, outstanding cultural capabilities, and mature citizenship in a developed democracy, and have been recognized as a model country in the world. Will achieve a fast and strong economic recovery through the full-fledged implementation of the’Korean version of the New Deal’ and leap forward as a leading country. In addition, we will lead the response to climate change with the world through the ‘2050 carbon neutral’ policy.” “If conditions allow, we will make efforts to the end for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, permanent peace, and the development of inter-Korean relations,” he added.
Finally, President Moon said, “Last year, we have kept our hopes through the sacrifice and dedication of each and every citizen. Through solidarity and cooperation, I gained confidence that I could advance to a’country where we live well together. In 2021, we will be persistent and steadily as if we are going down a thousand miles in a small step, and we will recover our precious daily life at the end of the year.”
