PM holds 2045 Strategy Committee meeting, selects 17 core tasks

The government convened a second meeting of the 2045 Strategy Committee on Wednesday to outline a vision for South Korea by the year 2045.

She stressed the importance of selecting future-oriented, daring, and challenging tasks to create an irreplaceable Republic of Korea in every aspect.
