Unification of Han Duck-soo's candidacy with PPP deemed as the "will of the people" by Han Duck-soo himself
At the Koreana Hotel in Seoul, on May 6, former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo made headlines with a rousing keynote speech at the Kwanhun Forum.
Pushing For Constitutional Reform
Han emphasized the need for significant changes to the country's political landscape, including a rework of the constitution. He outlined a three-year plan that starts with drafting amendments with public and legislative input, climaxes with finalizing and ratifying the reforms, and culminates with parliamentary and presidential elections held under the new constitution. Regardless of the election's outcome, Han stated that he would step down, demonstrating his commitment to fostering a more unified nation.
Strengthening Conservative Forces
The former prime minister stressed the importance of consolidating conservative forces, particularly in the upcoming election. Han expressed willingness to unify conservative candidates through public polling, reaffirming his stance that unification reflects the will of the people and vowing to respect the outcome.
Revolutionizing Artificial Intelligence
Han also discussed implementing an ambitious national strategy for artificial intelligence (AI). This plan includes creating a new department, staffed by a deputy prime minister, dedicated to overseeing AI initiatives, boosting public investment in AI education and training, and offering significant incentives to draw in foreign AI talent. By 2030, Han aims to produce at least 500,000 advanced AI chips and boast a more competitive AI industry.
Trading and National Unity
In a candid critique of the current political climate, Han decried the exploitation of national interests for political gain. He pledged to tackle trade challenges and champion national unity, offering a course correction in the hope of strengthening the country.
