- 5 years ago
Our top story this morning...
A hectic day of diplomacy lies ahead for South Korean President Moon Jae-in as the G20 Summit in Osaka officially kicks off in the coming hours.
Later on this Friday, President Moon will take part in a leaders' session... where the member states will discuss the global economy and international trade.
He will also hold talks with a handful of his global counterparts, including a crunch meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a key player in efforts to denuclearize North Korea.
Park Hee-jun reports from Osaka.
On the opening day of the G20 Osaka Summit on Friday,... President Moon Jae-in will engage in economic discussions... focused on addressing the global uncertainties brought about by the U.S.-China trade conflict.
A session will be held on the global economy, trade, and investment,... one of the four themes of the 14th G20 meeting.
President Moon is expected to share his government's fiscal policies,... including his push for a supplementary budget bill.
He is also expected to call for joint diplomatic efforts among the G20 nations,... in addressing global economic issues, including trade tensions.
With the G20 being one of the first bodies to take action,... in combating the global financial crisis in 2008,... active discussions will be held to prevent such a meltdown from happening again.
President Moon will also be occupied with a scheduled summit with Indonesia,... and pull-aside talks with India and the Netherlands.
But attention mainly focuses on President Moon meeting a key player in the North Korea denuclearization talks Russia.
This is perhaps the most important discussion of the day,... in terms of furthering his peace drive on the Korean Peninsula.
President Moon is expected to learn of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's thoughts from Kim's bilateral summit with Vladimir Putin in April,... and ask for Russia's continued support for his peace drive on the Korean Peninsula.
"And besides the series of meetings,... there's the question of whether President Moon will be able to hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. President Moon made it clear that he's willing to meet... to resolve the forced labor dispute between the two countries. He’s open to a last-minute meeting,... but this appears to depend entirely on Japan. Park Hee-jun, Arirang News, Osaka."
