President Yoon Jae-myung commended Prime Minister Kim Min-seok on May 21 for his significant achievements related to the previous day's Global AI Hub Vision Declaration event.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), President Yoon also recognized Democratic Party lawmaker Cha Ji-ho for his support in attracting the Global AI Hub, stating, "Both of them are a blessing to South Korea. I appreciate their hard work."
The Global AI Hub is a global cooperation platform being established in South Korea. It aims to create a collaborative framework for addressing global challenges by leveraging AI technology and infrastructure among international organizations, governments, academia, research institutions, and non-profit organizations.
During the opening remarks at the Global AI Hub Vision Declaration event held at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, Prime Minister Kim stated, "International organizations, governments, academia, industry, and civil society must come together to innovate towards 'AI for all' and 'human-centered inclusive AI.'"
The event was attended by representatives from nine international organizations, including the International Labour Organization (ILO), International Organization for Migration (IOM), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), World Food Programme (WFP), and World Health Organization (WHO). The South Korean government and these organizations issued a joint statement expressing their commitment to advancing the Global AI Hub.
