President Lee Jae Myung pledged on Tuesday to pursue growth and inclusion, honoring the legacy of late former President Kim Dae-jung on the 17th anniversary of his passing. Speaking at a memorial service at Seoul National Cemetery, delivered by his chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik, Lee outlined two core pillars of his administration: tangible progress in citizens' lives through growth, and warmth-spreading inclusion.
