President Yoon Seok-yeol said today (4th), "I think I have achieved many achievements in this tour," in relation to the tour of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada last month.
Today, on the first day of the National Assembly audit, it is interpreted as a reaction to the opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, repeatedly highlighting the various controversies raised during President Yoon's tour as a 'diplomatic disaster'.
President Yoon told reporters on the way to the Yongsan presidential office in the morning, "Well, the president's diplomatic activities are only for the national interest."
President Yoon emphasized a calm response to the increasingly clear signs of an economic crisis.
First of all, he said, "I saw a lot of things about the economy this morning," he said.
He also emphasized, "The more we respond calmly in times like these, and the fact that the international community shows that the Korean government is systematically coping with such economic instability itself is raising confidence in our economy."
"The government will always take care of people's livelihoods while maintaining sound finances," said President Yoon.
President Yoon mentioned that the international credit rating agency Fitch recently rated Korea's national credit rating as 'AA-', two steps higher than that of Japan, saying, "The external evaluation is still good."
He added, "Now that semiconductor prices are in a downward phase, the price of imported raw materials has risen, creating a trade deficit.
He urged the people, "Don't be too anxious, do the economic activities you need to do, and the government will meticulously operate a 24-hour emergency system."
