Congratulatory Note On the Groundbreaking Ceremony For Ulsan Industrial Center

Congratulatory Note On the Groundbreaking Ceremony For Ulsan Industrial Center

We have gathered here in Ulsan to build a new industrial city through which we aspire to end the 4,000-year history of poverty
in our nation and achieve long-hoped-for national wealth.
We are determined to make our dreams of transcending the miracle of Ruhr and reviving the glory of Silla become reality in Ulsan
based on our firm commitment to establishing the foundation for national rehabilitation,
devising and pursuing long-range national projects, and realizing the promise of prosperity through the generations.
The day when the roaring of the wheels of construction resonates across the nation and the smoke from the chimneys of industrial production sites whirls
through the air is the day our national hope for development has been realized.
My fellow citizens in hardship, The May 16 Revolution was not for any political greed or change in political beliefs
but solely for the lofty mission of ending poverty and achieving economic rehabilitation towards national prosperity and eternal social welfare.
The construction of an industrial city in Ulsan is, in itself, a symbol of the revolutionary government’s determination to do its utmost to achieve this mission.
This government’s success or failure will decide the economic status of the nation, and it is my sincere hope that the Korean people, in this knowledge,
will do their best for the successful completion of this task of the century by channeling patriotism, pursuing aspirations, and embracing cooperation.

Note On the Purpose Of Constructing the Monument

A Note On the Purpose Of Constructing the Monument

It has already been six years since Ulsan undertook initiatives to reposition Korea, through which the East Sea flows,
as a modern, industrialized nation in the Asia-Pacific region.
Ulsan, a region steeped in the wisdom of Silla with a thousand years of history, is now opening a new chapter in history
by freeing Korea from the chains of sorrow and poverty
so that it may embrace the freedom of joyous prosperity.
We are here to commemorate this joy and pride as well as the promise of a better future
through the erection of this tower—
which will stand both as a symbol of national victory and prosperity,
and as a historical record of national restoration for future generations.}}
