According to the RoK’s presidential office, the first press conference by the President in 2019 will start at 10h00 on January 10th.
The event will kick off with the President’s 20-minute keynote speech, followed by a question-and-answer session with reporters, which is expected to run for 80 minutes.
Kwon Hyuk-ki, head of the press center, said Mr. Moon will host a question-and-answer session with reporters by himself to facilitate better communication.
Mr. Kwon added the question-and-answer session will touch on areas, including foreign affairs, security, economy, politics and society, and the President will take questions by picking reporters with raised hand.
This is Moon’s third press conference with journalists from local and foreign news agencies to be broadcast live, following his 2018 New Year’s press conference and one that marked his 100th day in office in August 2017./.
