SEOUL<\/strong>\u00a0— President Moon Jae-in on Thursday asked for continued attention and support for the Korea peace process from Asia-Pacific news agencies, as he greeted their representatives at Cheong Wa Dae.<\/p>\n

“Peace on the Korean Peninsula is a starting point for achieving a peace community of co-prosperity,” Moon said in a meeting with the heads of 32 news agencies from 28 countries.<\/p>\n

They gathered in Seoul for a regular general assembly of the Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA).<\/p>\n

Moon noted that the wire services have dispatched news on peace efforts, which began with the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics in earnest, to the entire world.<\/p>\n

They conveyed “historic scenes,” including three rounds of inter-Korean summits last year, U.S. President Donald Trump’s crossing over the Military Demarcation Line into North Korea and a trilateral Panmunjom meeting involving North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Moon said.<\/p>\n

“There are still many hurdles to overcome, but (peace) is the way (we) must go,” he said. “I believe your attention and support will be of big help.”<\/p>\n

Moon said a deal on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), reached in Bangkok earlier this week during his trip there, represents a “very important opportunity” for the expansion of free trade in the region and co-prosperity.<\/p>\n

“It is also a great achievement in that it will serve as a very important stepping stone for moving toward a reciprocal and open trade system, economic development without gaps and an economic community,” Moon said.<\/p>\n

It also conforms with the spirit of people-centered prosperity which the South Korean government is pursuing under the New Southern Policy and the New Northern Policy, he added. Moon made a three-day visit to the Thai capital for the Asean Plus Three summits, the East Asia Summit session and an RCEP summit.<\/p>\n

He reminded the participants of South Korea’s plan to host a special commemorative summit with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and a separate summit with Mekong nations in Busan late this month.<\/p>\n

“It will be a meaningful event” to discuss ways for the drastic development of relations between South Korea and its future partners for win-win growth, he added.<\/p>\n

They included Yonhap News Agency CEO Cho Sung-boo and delegates from China’s Xinhua News Agency, Japan’s Kyodo News and Russia’s TASS news agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
