[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, visited the funeral hall of Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee on the 26th and said, "His insight into global trends, innovation, and spirit of challenge should be emulated not only by businesses but also by our politics and government."

Regarding Samsung’s future, Ahn said, "With the post-COVID-19 era approaching worldwide due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the times will change significantly. At such a time, I hope Samsung, as a representative company of South Korea, can properly adapt and grow into a strong company that endures well."

About his relationship with the deceased during his lifetime, he added, "I did not have the chance to meet him separately. Today, I came not as a party leader but as an entrepreneur who dreamed of innovation through new challenges and startups."
