President Moon Jae-in once again reiterated that the Korean Peninsula is the starting point in building a community of peace.
"There are many hurdles left to overcome, but this is the way we must go for Korea, East Asia and for the entire world."
The president, in a meeting with the heads of 32 news agencies from the Asia-Pacific region, called for the agencies to devote coverage to such efforts for peace.
President Moon said the agencies have done their part in delivering what he called "historic scenes," like the three rounds of inter-Korean summits last year, the U.S. President crossing the border of demilitarized zone into North Korea and the three-way meeting with the regime's leader Kim Jong-un.
As for the massive new trade deal reached earlier this week in Bangkok the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP the president called it a great achievement.
He said it serves as an important stepping stone toward a reciprocal and open trade system, across-the-board economic development and an economic community.
The Korean leader also reminded the participants of the big events to be hosted soon in Busan the Korea-ASEAN Special Summit and the Korea-Mekong Summit scheduled at the end of this month.
The summits, he said, will be very significant.
"It will be a meaningful occasion to discuss ways to dramatically develop future partnerships for win-win growth among the ASEAN and Mekong countries."
And because the event will greatly add to peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region,... the president asked for their full attention.
