Moon Jae-in was sworn in as the new president of South Korea yesterday after his victory at the recently held
election.
In his inaugural speech, he vowed to address the economy and relations
with the North saying that he would even be willing to visit Pyongyang
under the right circumstances.
Mr Moon took his oath of office in Seoul's National Assembly building a
day after his decisive win. The former human rights lawyer and son of
North Korean refugees is known for his liberal views.
He has also vowed to unify a divided country reeling from a corruption
scandal which saw his predecessor, Park Geun-hye, impeached a few
months back.
