President Lee Jae-myung Proposes 'Solidarity of Constructive Contributor Nations' at UN General Assembly
President Lee Jae-myung attended the keynote address of the 78th United Nations General Assembly held in New York, USA, on the 22nd (local time). In this speech, President Lee emphasized international cooperation to resolve global economic crises and security issues.
President Lee mentioned the global supply chain crisis recently caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. To overcome these economic difficulties, he proposed a new 'Solidarity of Constructive Contributor Nations,' in which like-minded countries join forces. This is a measure to minimize the impact of a specific country's crisis on the global economy.
In addition, President Lee expressed his position on the issue of peace on the Korean Peninsula. He emphasized that maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula is an important task that should be discussed and resolved not only by the two Koreas but also by neighboring countries such as the United States and China.
This speech is evaluated as demonstrating South Korea's will to play a responsible role in the international community. The government plans to continue to communicate closely with major countries to strive for the stabilization of global supply chains and the establishment of peace on the Korean Peninsula.
