Park Geun-hye

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.

In human life, economics precedes politics or culture.

I will try to work for greater reconciliation, cooperation and peace in North East Asia based on correct perception of history.

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.

I have no family to take care of and no children to pass wealth to.

I have no child to inherit my properties. You, the people, are my only family, and to make you happy is the reason I do politics.

I have no family to take care of.

We should change the current economic system dominated by big business groups to a one where small and medium-sized enterprises develop together.

I will open an era of grand national unity.

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.

National partition is a sorrow that touches all Koreans, but for me it is brought to the fore by unimaginable personal suffering.
