Korea intends to utilize its manufacturing and defense industry skills to enhance global safety and mutual prosperity, while simultaneously honoring its commitments to worldwide peace, humanitarian support and disaster response, stated Prime Minister Han Seong-sook on Tuesday. At the Seoul Defense Dialogue, an annual security forum hosted by Korea's defense ministry since 2012, she emphasized that wars and conflicts in one region have far-reaching consequences beyond their immediate borders in an interconnected world.
In this era, a conflict outside Korea's borders can severely impact the nation's economy and people's livelihoods, she warned. President Lee Jae Myung stresses that economic growth alone is insufficient for prosperity; it must be supported by a stable and peaceful global order. The "irreplaceable Republic of Korea" that the Lee administration seeks to create is not a country that advances alone, but one that collaborates with others, according to Han.
