Asia Economy Hosted '2023 Women Leaders Forum'
President Yoon: "Supporting Women's Challenges in New Industry Fields"
"We Will Strive to Create a Work-Life Balance Corporate Environment"

"We will spare no effort to support women leaders so that they can play their roles in the era of super-large artificial intelligence (AI)."

President Yoon Suk-yeol stated this in a congratulatory message sent to the '2023 Asia Economy Women Leaders Forum' held at Lotte Hotel in Sogong-dong on the morning of the 24th. "We are entering the era of super-large AI. As super-large AI rapidly spreads into industries and daily life, the roles and leadership of women are required in various fields such as technology development, talent cultivation, and norm establishment," he said.

President Yoon explained the government's stance, saying, "We will support more women to challenge new technologies and new industries and create new value," and "We will strive to create a corporate environment where work and life can be balanced." Last month, during his attendance at the 78th United Nations General Assembly high-level session in New York, USA, he presented the basic principles of the Digital Rights Charter. In the same month, he chaired the Korea Super-large AI Leap Meeting and promised bold investments in domestic super-large AI.

He also conveyed a message hoping that the Asia Economy Women Leaders Forum would become a platform for leading discussions in the AI era. President Yoon said, "I hope meaningful suggestions will be derived through the Women Leaders Forum so that women leaders can lead the super-large AI era," and "The government supports all women leaders active in various fields with a spirit of challenge, consideration, empathy, and responsibility."
