President Moon met Prime Minister Suga by video at a multilateral meeting the same day after three months after making the first normal call to celebrate Suga’s inauguration on September 24.
President Moon said, “We gained valuable experience through the East Asian financial crisis of 1997.” “The crisis in one country was the crisis in neighboring countries, and we realized the importance of joint response and cooperation. This was an opportunity to launch the ASEAN + 3 Summit ”. He said: “Now, based on our accumulated cooperation experience over the past 23 years, we are becoming an example of international cooperation in solidarity and cooperation against the Crown.” The fund and storage system for essential medical supplies are a significant result of ASEAN + 3. The movement of essential labor also opened the door. He added: “It is very significant that the ideas we shared at the special summit in April are leading to tangible results.” We hope to expand it. “
President Moon said: “As the coronavirus situation drags on, the problems we have to solve together increase. We will take health cooperation to the next level and work together for vaccine and treatment development and equitable dissemination.” In preparation for this, a rapid and transparent cooperation system must be established ”.
He added: “Even in the economic field, we have to prepare pre-emptively for the post-crown era,” he said. “The world economy is expected to recover to pre-crown levels next year, but the difference in the speed of recovery between countries will be large.”
In addition, he said, “the wind of protection trade and uncertainty in the financial market are still there,” he said. “There is concern that inequality will increase as the transition to the digital economy accelerates.”
President Moon said: “These are problems that cannot be solved with the power of one country.
He added, “I hope ASEAN + 3 will become the hope of the world economy in the post-crown era.”
