시민행정신문 이정하 기자 | 윤석열 대통령 부부는 추석날이자 6일 간의 추석 연휴 둘째 날인 9월 29일 오후, 청와대 영빈관에서 열린 원폭 피해 동포 초청 오찬 간담회에 참석했다. 대통령이 동포들과 악수를 나누며 들어서자 동포들은 일어서서 큰 박수로 맞이했다. 대통령은 지난 5월 G7 정상회의 참석차 히로시마에서 한국 대통령으로서는 처음으로 원폭 피해 동포들을 만나, 동포들을 가까운 시일 내에 한국으로 초청하겠다고 한 바 있으며, 이번 초청을 통해 그 약속을 지켰다. 대통령은 78년 전 히로시마에서 수 만 명의 한국인들이 원폭 피해로 생명과 삶의 터전을 잃었으며, 이는 식민지 시절에 타향에서 입은 피해였기에 그 슬픔과 고통이 더욱 컸을 것이라면서 참석자들을 위로했다. 대통령은 우리 정부가 동포들의 아픔을 외면하지 않을 것이라면서, 이번 방한이 원폭 피해 동포들의 슬픔에 조금이나마 위안이 되기를 바란다고 말했다. 또한, 대통령은 지난 5월 히로시마에서 기시다 일본 총리와 함께 한국인 원폭 희생자 위령비에 참배한 것은 원폭 희생자들을 추모하고 평화와 번영의 미래를 함께 열어갈 것을 다짐하는 의미였다고 말하면서, 우리 정부는 자유, 인권, 법치의 가치를 공유하는
