The new president of South Korea, Yoon Suk-Yeol, began his five-year term at midnight with his first briefing as commander-in-chief of the joint staff chiefs. Yoon started his work from an underground bunker set up in his new presidential office in the middle of a strong tension in the Korean peninsula.A few hours later, Yoon was sworn in as president during a huge official ceremony in the National Assembly of Seoul.
“I swear solemnly in front of the people I will faithfully do the functions of the president,” said Yoon, who promised to become hard with Pyongyang.However, in the first speech as president, Yoon said that the dialogue door with North Korea will remain open. South Korea was ready to present a “daring plan” to strengthen the economy of North Korea if it launched into a process to finish denuclearization, he added.
“While nuclear weapons programs in North Korea constitute a threat not only for our security and that of Northeast Asia, the dialogue door will remain open so that we can peacefully resolve this threat,” said declared Yoon.Yoon, 61, had won a close election in March as a standard carrier of the main conservative people party, less than a year after entering politics after a 26 -year career as a prosecutor.
