SPEECHES & REMARKS
BRIEFINGS
Opening Remarks by President Moon Jae-in at Joint Press Conference Following Korea-New Zealand Summit
(Unofficial translation)
Tena koutou katoa! (Hello everyone). Did I pronounce it right?
I am deeply grateful to Governor-General Reddy, Prime Minister Ardern and the people of New Zealand for warmly welcoming my delegation.
Prime Minister Ardern went so far as to announce a welcome statement prior to my state visit. I will never forget her extraordinary friendship.
This is the first visit to New Zealand by a Korean President in nine years. It is all the more meaningful for me to be able to wrap up summit diplomacy in this eventful year of 2018 here in New Zealand.
The Republic of Korea is grateful to have such a close friend as New Zealand that safeguarded freedom and peace with us. Our two countries are in the northern and southern hemispheres, far apart with the Pacific Ocean separating us, but New Zealand dispatched troops just four days after the Korean War broke out. We can never forget New Zealand’s friendship and sacrifice.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1962, our two countries have promoted friendly and cooperative relations in a wide range of areas, including politics, the economy, society and culture.
Importantly, Prime Minister Ardern and I share the administrative vision and goal of “inclusive growth.” There is a Maori proverb saying, “What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people, it is the people, it is the people.” As such, we both intend to create a country where all the people thrive together.
Today, we agreed to advance our bilateral relations in a more mutually beneficial and forward-looking manner while sharing the importance of a “people-centered” approach. We had extensive discussions about implementation measures.
First, we agreed to further strengthen complementary, mutually beneficial economic cooperation and expand our partnerships in science, technology and the defense industry.
The Korea-New Zealand FTA, which took effect in 2015, is now serving as a reliable institutional framework to promote bilateral trade and investment. Our two nations agreed to enhance mutual investments and cooperation in the sectors of agriculture and construction, in which New Zealand and Korea have respective strengths, as well as to identify and push ahead with more projects.
Next year, the Korean-built HMNZS Aotearoa, New Zealand's new logistics support vessel, will have its launching ceremony. Jointly welcoming the coming ceremony, we agreed to quickly conclude an agreement on military-supply cooperation with an aim to further promote defense industry cooperation.
Our two countries also agreed to further enhance research cooperation on Antarctica. I expect that New Zealand’s long experience as one of the first signatories to the Antarctic Treaty combined with Korea's advanced research technologies will produce significant findings.
In addition, we agreed to diversify bilateral cooperation, including joint research in such new industries as bioengineering, healthcare and information and communication technology, which are crucial for responding to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Second, we came to an agreement to further expand people-to-people exchanges between our two countries.
On the occasion of my state visit this time, New Zealand decided to implement its eGate system to facilitate the immigration clearance for Koreans. I feel truly grateful for the decision.
We also engaged in discussions about how to promote people-to-people exchanges through various systems, including a working holiday program, a trainee work visa in agriculture and animal husbandry, a language program for rural youth and the special work visa.
Prime Minister Ardern, when she was a student, visited Korea and came to learn more about the country. I believe that our two countries’ young generations visiting each other’s country more and more frequently and getting involved in mutual exchanges while understanding each other and developing empathy will become a foundation for advancing bilateral relations.
For its part, the Korean Government will also implement the Next Generation Leaders Exchange Program as a way to invite New Zealand’s young leaders to Korea.
In addition, we also decided to conclude procedures within each country as soon as possible to sign the Social Security Agreement so that the people of our two countries will be guaranteed the right to receive a pension.
Third, we concurred on continuing close cooperation for peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and in the region.
Prime Minister Ardern welcomed the Korean Government’s endeavors to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula and promised her active support going forward. It will be a great boost for our journey toward peace.
Moreover, we decided to advance a free and fair market economy for the prosperity and sustainable growth of the international community and solidify the international trade order based on openness and multilateralism.
Sharing a common understanding that diplomatic and economic cooperation in the ASEAN and Pacific region is important, we agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation through New Zealand’s Pacific Reset policy and Korea’s New Southern Policy.
Finally, I extended an invitation to Prime Minister Ardern to visit the Republic of Korea at her convenience.
I hope that today’s summit will serve as an important milestone to advance the 21st century partnership between Korea and New Zealand in a more forward-looking manner.
Thank you.
