On Thursday, President Moon spoke with Colombian President Ivan Duque, who expressed hope that his country could buy Korean-made medical supplies such as respirators and test kits.
According to the Blue House, President Moon assured his counterpart that South Korea will actively share its relevant experience and clinical data with Colombia and other countries, and will also ship them the supplies they need.
Moon also emphasized the importance of cooperation and solidarity in the international community, noting that COVID-19 is not a problem confined to any single country.
