[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The People Power Party evaluated President Yoon Suk-yeol's first speech at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on the 20th (local time) as "a declaration announcing South Korea's leap to becoming a 'global pivotal state' actively playing a role in freedom and solidarity in the international community."

Park Jeong-ha, senior spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a commentary that "Since its founding in 1948, South Korea has been the only legitimate government on the Korean Peninsula recognized by the United Nations," adding, "During North Korea's invasion in the Korean War, the UN forces immediately decided to intervene, making South Korea a symbol of freedom and solidarity at the UN."

Senior spokesperson Park said, "(President Yoon) clearly defined South Korea's diplomatic direction by emphasizing solidarity in the international community based on the universal human value of freedom," and added, "By stressing responsibilities as a member of the international community for addressing the North Korean nuclear threat, overcoming the pandemic, and maintaining peace, he also demonstrated his stature as a leader on the global stage."

He continued, "While South Korea in the past was a country benefiting from the prosperity of the international community, today South Korea has become a country that leads the prosperity of the international community together," and emphasized, "The People Power Party and the Yoon Suk-yeol administration will fulfill their responsible roles in devising solutions to overcome threats to freedom and solidarity in the international community during this transitional era."
