Governor Lee Nak-youn (이낙연)‚
Mayor Jo Chung-hun (조충훈)‚
Ambassador Dato Haji Harun Ismail‚
Ladies and gentlemen‚
“Healing” is a popular keyword showing our zeitgeist‚ the spirit of our age. After all‚ we all need some respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Fortunately enough for us‚ the two days in Suncheon and the southern coast have been such a wonderfully refreshing experience. I now feel thoroughly reinvigorated. I truly appreciate the gracious hospitality of Governor Lee and Mayor Cho. Thanks to them‚ our group has firsthand experience of true healing. In particular‚ Governor Lee has prepared today’s feast for us with the best of local produce - nourishing us with the taste of the terroir from this “land full of vitality.” My special thanks go to him.
Members of the diplomatic corps‚
This visit has been truly an experience to savor. It has given us vivid evidence on the key to sustainable development - the harmonious balance between humanity and nature. We have seen the marshlands and the Suncheon Bay Park connected by Dongcheon (동천) - a magnificent product of human effort‚ where nature has been crafted to embrace man-made landscapes.
I know for sure I wasn’t the only one moved by its sheer beauty and by its healing power - three million visited the Park in its first two hundred days.
So‚ this visit has been a genuinely eye-opening experience. Later today we will return to Seoul - but many of us will leave part of our hearts here‚ and instead take a bit the region’s natural beauty and the humane spirit of her people. And I hope we will keep this‚ even as we live our hectic diplomatic lives.
I understand that one of Governor Lee’s favorite phrases is “근청원견(近聽遠見)” - listen to what is close at hand‚ and set your sights afar. In a sense‚ this is the essence of what we have been doing during the past two days. Speaking. Listening. Communicating. And so‚ coming to share a vision - of a reunified Korean peninsula‚ a stable Northeast Asia and a happier world for all.
So‚ I would like say once again “Thank you” to Governor Lee‚ Member of National Assembly Lee and Mayor Jo for being such generous hosts. And to all my diplomat friends here - it’s been a joy being with you. I hope to see all of you again on the 16th of December‚ at the End of Year Concert.
Thank you.
