``He accomplished the world-class feat of ``the Miracle of the Hangang River.'' ``Amidst the current global complex crisis, we must once again keep President Park Chung Hee's spirit and accomplishments in our hearts, and based on them, the Republic of Korea will make another leap forward.''
We must build on this," he emphasized. On the morning of the same day, President Yoon held a ceremony at former President Park Chung-hee's gravesite at the National Memorial Hall (a national cemetery where people of national merit are enshrined) in Seoul.
He attended the ``Memorial Ceremony for the 44th Anniversary of the Late President Park Chung Hee'' and spoke as follows. The memorial service for the late former President Park Chung Hee has been held every year since 1980, but it was the first time a sitting president attended.
This is the first time. President Yoon arrived at Seoul Airport this morning after visiting Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and attended the memorial service.
Former President Park Geun-hye, the eldest daughter of the late former President Park Chung-hee, also attended the memorial service on this day.
After meeting with the president, they both visited the gravesite of former President Park Chung-hee. President Park, who took the stage to represent the bereaved family, said, ``As soon as I returned from my overseas trip today, I immediately rushed to the memorial service.''
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to President Yoon." He continued, ``There are various difficulties facing us now, but I believe that our government and the people will overcome them.''
``Looking back, there has never been a time since the founding of the Republic of Korea when it was not in crisis,'' he said.
