To that end, he vowed to turn the country into a digital powerhouse by fostering new growth industries pointing out that South Korea has strengths in post-COVID-19 related sectors, such as intact medical services and online education.
The President vowed to push ahead with a Korean version of the New Deal as a national project to create jobs calling it a preemptive investment for the future.
