The feedback of the President related to the installation of the national cohesion committee

“National cohesion is essential to building a new Korea.
The active participation and cooperation of every citizen is especially important in creating a cohesive, integrated society.
I urge the Presidential Committee for National Cohesion to develop diverse communication channels and programs to encourage voluntary participation and cooperation. You must reach out to the people and become their friend. Please listen to their voices and take the lead in moving toward national cohesion.
