Spokesperson Kang emphasized, "The reason President Moon proposed the special video summit was not only to share our infectious disease response methods with other countries if they wish, but more fundamentally to highlight the need for international cooperation among countries for economic recovery and crisis management."

Spokesperson Kang stated, "President Moon has repeatedly emphasized international solidarity and cooperation. Specifically, even if some countries impose full entry restrictions due to infectious diseases, the issue of allowing entry to businesspeople carrying health certificates could be discussed at the G20 level. This proposal was made in that context."
