Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported today: "The South Korean National Election Management Committee officially confirmed at around 7 a.m. on Wednesday (June 4) that Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, has been elected as the 21st President of South Korea. Lee Jae-myung will begin his term of office."
At the age of 61, Lee Jae-myung, who comes from humble origins and was once a lawyer, represents the progressive camp. During his campaign, he proposed a series of commitments aimed at addressing many of the issues currently facing South Korea. After being elected, he went to Yeouido, Seoul, to deliver a speech, promising to overcome internal chaos, prevent military coups, and spare no effort in boosting the economy and improving people's livelihoods. He emphasized the need to quickly address the current political turmoil and restore normalcy to the lives of South Korean citizens.
In terms of diplomacy, Lee Jae-myung stated that after his election, he would promote practical foreign policies and establish friendly relations with countries such as China, Japan, Russia, and the United States. Meanwhile, the ROK-U.S. alliance remains the cornerstone of South Korean diplomacy, which will continue to deepen. This shows his attempt to diversify diplomacy and balance various relationships.
