Mr. Kim is also equipped with an outstanding leadership to deal with interest adjustments and communications which is gained from about 20 years of parliamentary activities devoted to several law-making processes for economic revitalization and industry development of Korea. Accordingly, Mr. Kim is considered to be sufficiently qualified through his capability and competence to steer a large-scale organization.
