Speaking on the second day of the G20 summit, Yoon Suk Yeol said the transition to clean energy must go hand in hand to overcome the climate crisis facing the world.

To this end, we ask for your support for the carbon-free energy initiative to spread the supply of nuclear energy, etc.

He stressed that he would continue to provide support to countries vulnerable to climate change.

The closure of the G20 summit concluded President Yoon's trip to Peru and Brazil.

One of the key achievements is that he continued to condemn North Korea's illegal military cooperation as a threat to global security as well as the Korean Peninsula in front of the leaders of major countries around the world, including Russia.

Following the Korea-U.S.-Japan summit, Korea-U.S. and Korea-Japan bilateral meetings were held, and they agreed to develop a close cooperation system even after the launch of the new Trump administration.

In the first Korea-China summit in two years, China called for China's responsible role in close ties with North Korea and Russia, and exchanged invitations to visit China and South Korea, paving the way for improved relations between Korea and China.

President Yoon, who visited South America for the first time since taking office, has also strengthened his will to cooperate economically by diversifying defense and core mineral cooperation with Peru.

With the launch of the new Trump administration and the dispatch of North Korean troops, President Yoon has completed a fierce diplomatic war to protect national interests in both areas of security and economy.
