President Yoon Seok-yeol said on the 10th, "I am deeply grateful to the medical staff for their respect and dedication to the people who have endured great pain in the process of overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years." At the inauguration ceremony of the 20th president held in front of the main building of the National Assembly, President Yoon said, "We will rebuild the country as a country where the people are the true owners based on liberal democracy and market economy." In Yoon's inaugural address, "freedom" said a total of 35 times.

 

President Yoon's ambition is to ensure the value of freedom as much as possible to make it a country where the people are the true owners and fulfill their responsibilities and roles in the international community.

 

President Yoon insisted that the universal value of freedom should be shared as something to be done to resolve excessive collective conflicts between countries and within countries and to overcome the democratic crisis.

 

"We must properly and accurately recognize the value of freedom," Yoon said.

 

"We must rediscover the value of freedom.

 

Looking back on human history, the place where free political rights and free markets were breathing has always been prosperous," he said.

 

"If any individual's freedom is violated, even the freedom of all members of the community is threatened," he said.

 

President Yoon said, "Freedom is by no means a winner-take-all.

 

To be a citizen with freedom , a certain level of economic fundamentals and opportunities for fair education and access to culture must be guaranteed," he said, adding that he cannot be called a free citizen without such a thing.

 

If someone's freedom is violated or fails to meet the conditions necessary to become a free citizen, all free citizens should help in solidarity," he stressed.

 

"Science, technology and innovation will protect our liberal democracy, expand freedom, and sustain a dignified life," President Yoon said.

 

"We should cooperate and unite with many countries that have achieved technological progress and innovation by respecting freedom and creativity." "We are in the 10th largest economy group in the world.

 

Therefore, we should take an attitude as a global leader in actively supporting and defending universal international norms based on freedom and human rights values," he said.

 

He added, "I will make sure to create a country where the people are the true masters, a country that is responsible and respected in the international community based on the values of freedom, human rights, fairness and solidarity."
