President Park Geun-hye has urged lawmakers and members of the ruling Saenuri Party to
help the government realize her three-year economic innovation plan.
Speaking at a dinner party held Tuesday evening at the presidential office for the ruling
party members, the president rallied support for her goal of putting the country on the
path to a per-capita income of 40-thousand U.S. dollars... before her term ends.
To achieve the goal, the president pledged to ease regulations in areas that can spur
job creation. Saying the division of the two Koreas stands
in the way of the nation's full potential, the president also urged the ruling party
to work towards reunification. The party leadership vowed to work closely
with the government and bring normalcy to parliament, which was deadlocked for much
of last year.
