SEOUL, September 24 (AJP) - President Lee Jae Myung on Tuesday called for the UN's cooperation to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula during a meeting with Secretary-General António Guterres.
After delivering his keynote speech at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Lee met with Guterres, praising his leadership at the multilateral organization, stressing the UN's "crucial" role in addressing global crises and resolving international disputes.
Lee highlighted South Korea's dramatic transition from an aid recipient to a donor and pledged that the country would play a greater role in addressing global challenges.
He also expressed support for UN-led reforms and promised South Korea's contribution to making the UN more effective, while asking for more opportunities for South Korean talent to work in international organizations.
Calling South Korea a "trusted partner" on global issues such as humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and human rights, Guterres pledged to strengthen relations with the country.
Lee is now set to preside an artificial intelligence (AI)-themed open debate on Wednesday, making him the first South Korean leader to do so.
