A Dialogue with World Bank President Jim Yong Kim
HIT: 9271
I would like to extend a warm welcome to President Kim and all of you
who have joined us here on this beautiful autumn day.
Main themes for Dr.Kim are Dream, Hope, and human being. He is a symbol for value creation. That’s why he is visiting SNU. He has been truly successful as medical doctor, WHO’s staff and university leader. He has achieved American Dream. He has dedicated to helping and curing many people who needed help. He has committed to expanding the core value of humanity for higher education as the President of Dartmouth College.
The news that Dr.Kim was nominated as President of the World Bank has given us the impressive message. That is 「change of value」 for new hope for human kinds. I should congratulate the World Bank rather than congratulate Dr. Kim. As he has became a new leader of the World Bank, the World Bank is ready to reform the existing system and function, focusing on deepened mutual cooperation between developing and developed countries, focusing on solving humanitarian issues of our times.
I am sure that existing value of the World Bank will be upgraded, because of his inspirational leadership. We pray that the dream would come true.
Thank you.
