South Korean Foreign Minister attends G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting... ”Normalization of the Security Council is urgently needed”

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yeol, who is visiting New York to attend the UN General Assembly, said on the 25th (local time) that "the revitalization of the UN Security Council must be promoted as a top priority.
At the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on the same day, Cho said, "We need to take into account the lack of response to the Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas conflict, and the need for experts on sanctions against North Korea."
"The Security Council is not fulfilling its intended function, as seen in the rejection of the extension of Nel's term," he said, adding, "Normalization of the Security Council is urgently needed to ensure international peace and stability."
Cho continued, regarding the direction of Security Council reform, saying, "We will enhance democracy, transparency and representativeness, and promote a balanced geographical distribution.
"We must expand the number of non-permanent members so that the Security Council's share of the membership is ensured," he said, highlighting the need to strengthen the role of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) in light of the growing importance of conflict prevention.
Cho also stressed that "we must deepen our efforts to improve the international regime in order to advance the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)."
"Through our participation in this conference, the government will present our vision for the future direction of global governance," the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
"As the international order continues to change, we plan to continue to play a constructive role and make contributions so that global governance reform will be based on universal values such as freedom, human rights, and the rule of law."
It's a painting," he explained.
