  "account": "President Lee Jae Myung stressed the significance of maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula amid global turmoil, stating that such efforts also benefit the national economy. In a world of upheaval, the paramount concern is peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, Lee remarked before meeting with foreign, unification, and defense ministry officials. Recalling past experiences of compromised peace, the president stressed that no amount of emphasis on peace and stability is excessive. He likened peace to food and the economy, asserting that maintaining peace is crucial for economic stability.\n\nLee also expressed disappointment that security and diplomatic matters have become topics of partisan debate in South Korea, vowing to deliver concrete outcomes through appropriate action rather than raising his voice. The president tasked the unification ministry to continue promoting peace and coexistence with North Korea, despite Pyongyang's persistent lack of response to Seoul's invitations for engagement. Lee lamented the feeling of an unanswered cry and emphasized that it would be challenging to improve relations after long periods of confrontation and neglect. Nevertheless, he affirmed that the policy of pursuing peace and coexistence should persist.",
