He continued, "President Yoon Seok-yeol returned early this morning after his tour of the three Central Asian countries," and explained, "Amid the global supply chain crisis, we achieved significant results by strengthening cooperation with the three resource-rich Central Asian countries in energy plants and critical minerals."

Chief Jung said, "We exported the high-speed train developed with our technology for the first time, secured full cooperation on the K (K)-Silk Road initiative, and also gained support for North Korea's denuclearization," emphasizing, "The Presidential Office will make every effort to ensure that these achievements are maximized through follow-up measures."

He also mentioned, "We had a meaningful time listening to the wisdom and insights of former Chiefs of Staff to the President from the Kim Dae-jung administration to the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," and conveyed, "I emphasized that politics of dialogue and compromise must be restored for the recovery of people’s livelihoods and the economy."
