President Moon Jae-in is set to hold his first press conference as president here at Cheong
Wa Dae at 2:30 p.m. Ji-sun, how is the presidential office preparing
for Moon's arrival?
Daeun.
We are a bit behind schedule as President Moon Jae-in spent time shaking hands and speaking
with the people on his way to Cheong Wa Dae.
He was set to have lunch at 1 p.m. with former Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn , who served
as Prime Minister in the Park Geun-hye administration.
In addition to that, Moon and key staff members are scheduled to have briefings from the career
presidential office staff who worked at Cheong Wa Dae during the Park administration, to
better help them carry on their duties... as there is no transition period.
But Moon is likely already familiar with quite a few tasks,... as he served here as chief
of staff to late President Roh Moo-hyun during his tenure.
His first press conference here at Chunchugwan - the press building attached to Cheong Wa
Dae, will be broadcast live.
In his remarks,...
President Moon is expected to lay out his major policy priorities and name key staff
members,... including prime minister, National Security Council chief, head of the National
Intelligence Service... and the new head of presidential security service.
President Moon is not expected to answer questions from the press, but his nominees will.
His next schedule is launching a job commission and discussing how to operate that new presidential
committee.
Moon has been pledging to become the president of job creation, vowing to create 810-thousand
new jobs in the public sector, particularly to tackle the record-high unemployment rate,
with youth jobless rate standing at nearly 10-percent last year.
Later in the evening, Moon is very likely to speak with U.S. President Donald Trump
on the phone... as the two allies have a lot to discuss, including North Korea's nuclear
ambitions as well as strengthening bilateral ties.
Moon has pledged to work at the Government Complex at Gwanghwamun Plaza... instead of
Cheong Wa Dae, which he considers isolated and blocks free communication with his Cabinet
members and the people,... but that won't be happening immediately as that would take
some time.
Daeun.
