[Viewpoint] Better to give than receive - INSIDE JoongAng Daily

[Viewpoint] Better to give than receive - INSIDE JoongAng Daily: "ome ask me why we need to help needy people in foreign countries when there are still many among us who require care and aid.

When I get such a question, I respond, “Why shouldn’t we help out poor people in other countries?”

We are the people of the world’s 13th largest economy. In November, we will chair a summit of the leading 20 developing and emerging countries. And we have become the 24th member of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee, a donor club among developed countries devoted to helping poor countries."
