This Tuesday, President Moon Jae-in will be unveiling a comprehensive blueprint for his administration's New Deal initiative.
South Korea's top office has called it a national project that aims to combine the role of the government and corporate sector to overcome the COVID-19 crisis and transform the country into one that leads.
Take a listen.

"The Korean New Deal is a project that will muster our national power. It's a project aimed at overcoming the COVID-19 economic crisis, achieving large-scale job creation and transforming South Korea into a leading country."

President Moon will be giving a keynote speech,... which will be followed by a presentation by the finance minister on specific projects and the size of the budget.
The event will also connect live via teleconference with the heads of key companies, including Hyundai Motor and Naver, which will be part of the projects.
Also there will be ruling party lawmakers and representatives from business lobby groups.
The New Deal initiative aims to create jobs that better meet future needs and embrace two main pillars -- "digital" and "green."
