On the 7th (local time), the South Korean presidential office issued a joint statement at the EAS (East Asia Summit) attended by President Yoon Seo-gyeol on the occasion of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit meeting.
"I was led out," he said. Kim Tae Hee Yo, First Deputy Director of the National Security Office of the South Korean Presidential Office, said at the press center in Jakarta, Indonesia that day,
The same agreement has finally been worked out," he said. At last year's EAS, no statement was issued due to disagreements among leaders.
This EAS will focus on the Ukrainian War, the South China Sea issue, and the Myanmar military.
The discussion centered on the coup d'etat and the North Korean nuclear and missile issues. However, the EAS Joint Statement, which consists of 8 full texts and 32 texts, states that it is the biggest security concern in the region.
The “Ukrainian War” was not included. Regarding this, Deputy Director Kim said, "Disputes have arisen among countries about the cause of the outbreak of the Ukraine war, and there is a clear difference in the views on this war.
"There was," he explained. He continued, "There was no big difference in the opinions of the countries regarding the fact that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a direct violation of existing international norms."
There were differences in how they took their positions on the issue and how they planned their time to play their part," he added.
