SEOUL, Sept. 4 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung pledged to build a fair and transparent society while meeting with members of civic groups on Friday, calling on them to play a role in pursuing social reform.

The meeting held at Cheong Wa Dae invited members of civic groups working on social issues, such as human rights, the environment, agriculture, peace and history.

"I hope we can seek good ideas together and build a country where the people can nurture hope and a fair and transparent system is in place," the president said.

Lee said his administration's vision does not differ too much from those of civic groups, which, he noted, may be seeking to build a community where all people are respected fairly.

How they seek to achieve such a goal, however, may differ, said Lee.

"Civil society has always played a very important role in South Korea's democratization history," the president also said, noting that its role would be enormous in the social reform to be pursued.

The meeting was arranged to bridge gaps between government policies on those issues and the realities facing civic group activists, the presidential office said.

首尔，9月4日（韩联社）——韩国总统李在明周五会见公民团体成员时承诺，将建立一个公平透明的社会，并呼吁他们在推进社会改革中发挥作用。

在青瓦台举行的会议邀请了致力于人权、环境、农业、和平与历史等社会问题的公民团体成员参加。

总统说：“我希望我们能够共同寻求好的想法，建设一个人民能够充满希望、拥有公平透明制度的国家。”

李表示，他的政府的愿景与公民团体的愿景并没有太大不同，他指出，公民团体可能正在寻求建立一个所有人都受到公平尊重的社区。

李说，但他们实现这一目标的方式可能有所不同。

总统还表示，“公民社会在韩国民主化进程中一直扮演着非常重要的角色”，并指出公民社会在即将推行的社会改革中将发挥巨大作用。

总统府表示，此次会议旨在弥合政府在这些问题上的政策与公民团体活动人士面临的现实之间的差距。
