President Yoon Suk Yeol: “Bipartisan Cooperation Needed to Improve National Integrity”
President Yoon Suk Yeol recently announced that South Korea’s national integrity ranking has reached 31st place, emphasizing the need for efforts to eradicate corruption. The President explained that increasing the transparency of our society is a crucial path toward strengthening national competitiveness.
In this announcement, the President urged the ruling and opposition parties to join forces rather than focusing on their respective positions. He emphasized that clearing away corruption is not an issue for one side alone, but a task that the entire Republic of Korea must resolve to move toward a better future.
Currently, South Korea’s integrity ranking is evaluated as having much room for improvement relative to the size of its economy. Experts advise that the public sector’s transparency must be increased and systems to prevent corruption across society must be further strengthened.
Moving forward, the government plans to implement various policies to prevent corruption. In particular, it intends to focus on raising ethical awareness in the public service sector and providing clean administrative services that the public can trust.
The President’s remarks have reaffirmed that raising the integrity of our society is a national goal that transcends political conflict. Public attention is now focused on how the ruling and opposition parties will cooperate to build a society free of corruption.
