My name is Daniel. I was an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea, and now I am a writer who has
published three books including South Korea: Our Story by Daniel Nardini.
First of all, I wish to send congratulations to all those who have founded the new
Saenuri Party of Korea. It is time to make a clean break with the past, and also to fight for the conservative
ideas that have made the Republic of Korea a great country. The road for this new party will be hard and
treacherous, but for the sake of the Korean people today and for all those generations yet to come we must
all fight for a better tomorrow. The four most important things we must fight for are principle, democratic values,
free enterprise and the rights of the individual, and the conservative values that we all holed dear. Again
congratulations on the creation of the new Saenuri Party, and I wish the party and all its membership the
best!
