[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] President Yoon Suk-yeol is expected to emphasize a "UN-centered solidarity of freedom and value-sharing countries" in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly held in New York, USA, on the 20th (local time).

Kim Sung-han, Director of the National Security Office, said at a briefing at the New York Press Center on the same day, "President Yoon's message is that countries sharing freedom and values should unite around the UN."

The speech is also expected to include a message related to a 'win-win' approach, where economically and technologically advanced countries actively assist those that are not.

Director Kim explained, "The reason South Korea was able to leap from a country with a per capita income of less than $100 to one of the world's top 10 powers was because free world countries, led by the United States, trusted and actively supported Korea," adding that this good precedent should be practiced together with the UN.

He emphasized that the purpose of this UN General Assembly is to find innovative solutions to the complex crises occurring simultaneously, such as the pandemic, climate change, food security, energy, and war.

President Yoon will be the 10th among the heads of member states to speak at the podium. The allotted speech time for each country is 15 minutes, and it is expected to be between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. Korean time on the 21st.
