Korea intends to utilize its manufacturing and defense industry prowess to contribute to global safety and mutual prosperity, while upholding its duty to preserve worldwide peace, offer humanitarian assistance and react to disasters, stated Prime Minister Han Seong-sook on Tuesday. During a keynote address at the Seoul Defense Dialogue, an annual security gathering organized by the South Korean defense ministry since 2012, Han emphasized that conflicts and disputes in one region never remain confined to that area but extend globally in an interdependent world.
He noted that peace serves as the essential bedrock for economic expansion. "We have entered an era where, even if war erupts outside our country, it has significant economic implications for our nation and people's well-being," Han remarked. President Lee Jae Myung stresses that prosperity cannot be achieved solely through economic growth; it must be supported by a stable and peaceful world order.
The "indispensable Republic of Korea" that the Lee government seeks to create is not a nation advancing alone but one that collaborates with others.
