The Presidential Committee on Policy Planning (PCPP) under the control of President Lee Jae-myung held a national briefing session at Cheongwadae on Aug. 13 and unveiled a five-year national administration plan draft, the President Lee government’s state blueprint.
During the event, President Lee got a briefing on the process to establish a five-year national administration plan and major points from the PCPP.
The unveiled “five-year national administration plan” consists of three national visions, five national principles, five national goals, 123 policy tasks, a fiscal support plan and a legislation plan.
It specifies separate tasks according to each group, such as children/youth, adults, the elderly, women, the handicapped, small business owners and companion animal owners, stressing the will of the President Lee government to change all people’s lives for the better.
The plan draft was worked out and proposed by PCPP to the government, and it is expected to be finalized through a cabinet meeting following the government’s reviews. The state vision, the new government’s national administration goal, calls for a “nation of popular sovereignty, together happy Korea.”
The “nation of popular sovereignty” phrase means communicating with people at any time and at any place and realizing state affairs so that people’s sovereignty can be reflected.
PCPP said the “together happy Korea” message portrays its determination to attach top priority value to all people’s happiness.
The three national principles are attentive listening and integrity, fairness and trust, and practicality and performance.
The new government aims to resolve conflicts and divisions by lending an ear, carry out state affairs integrating all the people while it intends to remove injustice and privilege and execute state affairs by keeping promises to people.
It implies the meaning of merit-oriented administration to change people’s lives based on practicality.
The five national goals are politics integrating people, an innovative economy leading the world, balanced growth for all, a fundamentally strong society, and national interest-oriented diplomacy and security.
Twenty-three implementation strategies and 123 policy tasks are specified under the national goals.
The 123 national policy tasks are reflected with a focus on public pledges made to the people and a policy statement on top of policy proposals via an online site of the “National Sovereignty Committee,” and a variety of policy agreements signed during the 21st presidential campaign.
