Various channels of dialogue must be kept open to build trust. I will meet North Korea’s leader if it is needed to develop relations between the two Koreas.

We need fundamental change. In the past, national development led to people’s happiness but now the link between national growth and improvement in people’s lives has been severed.

Big businesses aren’t the only ones in the economic ecosystem. Nobody should fall behind because of an unfair structure.

My father’s biggest achievement was to motivate the South Korean people, to show them we could become prosperous if we worked hard. He taught me to love my country, and serve my country.

I couldn’t stand back and watch the strong economy that my father envisioned go to ruins.

South Korea’s economy is still difficult. I will create a country where nobody worries about putting food on the table.

Different times need different types of leadership.

In the 21st century, culture is power.

This year marks 20 years since the Rwandan genocide -- the world's greatest humanitarian tragedy of the late 20th century.

Yet, we are witnessing today a different type of humanitarian disaster unfolding in Syria and Iraq.

I know more than anyone the divergent views about my father.
