South Korea executive agenda.

President Roh Moo-hyun will spend his last year in office fighting regionalism and corruption in South Korean politics.
In an address to a ceremony marking the 27th anniversary of the Gwangju Democratisation Movement, the president said abuses, physical wrangling, absence of policy competition and dialogue, exchanges of tainted money and other ugly scenes would never disappear from domestic political circles unless political regionalism is overcome.
The Gwangju Democratisation Movement refers to a bloody government crackdown on a pro-democracy uprising in the southern city of Gwangju in May 1980.
The regime of then President Chun Doo-hwan, who took power through a military coup in 1979, dispatched tank-led paratroopers to brutally contain the revolt. Government data show that about 200 people were killed and 1,800 others wounded in the uprising, but unofficial figures put the death toll at more than 2,000.
The pro-government Uri Party has gained its support from Gwangju and the nearby southwestern provinces of Jeolla while the main opposition Grand National Party depends on the conservative southeastern provinces of Gyeongsang, with the central provinces of Chungcheong and the city of Seoul holding the deciding vote in the nation's key elections.
In the address, Roh went on to defend his government's achievements in the fields of politics, economy, society, culture and diplomacy.
