Now, south korean president moon remarks at the 74th United NationsGeneral Assembly in new york city. President moon focused on south koreas relationship with the peninsula neighbor, north korea, saying he wanted greater crossborder economic engagement. [speaking in foreign language] translator thanks to the dedication of the United States nations many problems have been solved in your effort toward peace and theyre coming to fruition. I like to convey my deepest respects and appreciation. Many let me offer my congratulations to the ambassador for assuming the presidency of the General Assembly. Im confident that under his outstanding leadership you and you will become a catalyst for promoting multilateral cooperations. The un and the Korean Peninsula have the same goals of sustaining peace and id like to pay tribute to the endeavors of secretary to sustain peace throughout virtual cycle of peace and development. Distinguished president of the secretarygeneral and representative from Member States the commitment of the un to appease all people will certainly bear fruit. The word is joining forces to help each other in disaster and emergency relief cooperation as well as in peacekeeping efforts. The un must continue to play a central role in fostering cooperation within the International Community. The republic of korea is a country that has benefited immensely from the un and was liberated from colonial rule in the year of un inception. It was able to overcome the search of war with the assistance of un and International Community caring responsibility with the progress it has made. Korea is now working together with International Community to bring about peace and prosperity in east asia. The olympic resolution adopted in november 2017 by that un gave up big help to us once more. In accordance with resolution the joint military society between republic of korea and the u. S. Plan for the 2018 or suspended creating an environment for most greenlandic delegation to come. Feel in the winter games in spite of initial concerns over security was transformed into a peaceful serving as an indelible opportunity with the reason of dialogue between the two careers. In the korean talks subsequently led to dialogue between the u. S. And north korea with decisions made by President Trump and chairman king provided momentum between the dramatic change. Compared to the past in which it took only a few rounds of gunfire to instigate Major Political unrest the Korean Peninsula has undergone change in the negotiating for peace on the Korean Peninsula deals the two careers in the u. S. Are setting their sites not only on radicalizations mps but also in Economic Cooperation and republic of korea intends to create a piece economy whereby peace can lead to economic corporations which in turn will reinforce all working info cycle. The examples of how the ecs c and the old sce had a positive impact of peace and prosperity within europe presents a fine model for us to emulate. Peace on the Korean Peninsula remains an ongoing challenge and the peace on the peninsula in the whole world are inextricably linked to each other. We will continue dialogue with north korea and we will find and make a way for Permanent Peace while maintaining cooperations with un Member States. Distinguished president , representative Member States, peace can only be created through dialogue. Peace can be considered when under agreements and only piece that has been accomplished on the basis of trust will last. Over the past year and a half dialogue and negotiations have produced significant results on the Korean Peninsula. [inaudible] used to be a symbol of division but now has become a demilitarized area were not even a single pistol exists between korea as we drove past the guard post thereby transforming it in the very symbol of competition into a piece zone. In the past unceasing breaches of the armistice agreement have raised military tensions and a time escalated the threat of war but not a single competition occurred since the inter korean comprehensive military agreement was signed in september 19 last year. What id like to inform you about in particular is the fact that a total of 177 sets of remains have been recovered so far from arrowhead, pierces battle between south korea and those of north korea and besides the remains of south korean soldiers that would presume to be soldiers for the u. S. , china, france and the British Commonwealth also been retrieved 66 years after three sets of south korean soldiers remain with confirmed identities have been returned to their families. Its truly rewarding made possible by the air force to build peace. These efforts have also made it possible for President Trump to become the first city american president to cross the military demarcation line and set foot on north korean soil. The military tensions among the leaders of both korea and the u. S. Set the stage for a momentous trilateral meeting. President trumps action in taking from [inaudible] and stepping over the military demarcation was, in itself, a declaration of the true beginning of a new era. It was a remarkable step that will go down in history of peace for the Korean Peninsula and in northeast asia. I hope both leaders will take yet another huge step from the their. Principle that i firmly held onto the course of resolving issues related to Korean Peninsula remain unchanged in the first principle is zero tolerance for war. Korea is still in a state of mistress and the war has yet to come to an end. The tragedy of war should never be repeated on the Korean Peninsula. To this end, we must put an end to the longest running armistice in the u. S. History and complete end to the war. The second principle mutual security guaranteed. South korea will guarantee the security of north korea. I hope north korea will do the same for south korea. When the security of both sides are assured it will be possible to accelerate the establishments of peace receives on the current peninsula at the very least all [inaudible] must be put on hold while the dialogue is ongoing and i hope they will also Work Together to elevate the political concerns. The third principle is prosperity. Peace does not simply mean the absence of conflict. Genuine peace is all about enhancing mutual inclusiveness and interdependence of working together for prosperity. A piece economy in which korea will state part will solidify peace on the peninsula and at the same time contribute to the Economic Development in east asia and the whole world. Today based on these three principles which are in complete accord with the values held by the un i like to propose to the un the idea of transforming the cuts across [inaudible] that tmz is a causal green zone that stretches 250 kilometers from east to west and 4 kilometers from north to south. Its borders define a tragedy bond by 70 years of military confrontation but paradoxically it has become a 15 ecological treasure trove. It is also become symbolic space in history with it both the tragedy of division by the joint security area with guard post and barbed fire once as long as the yearning for peace. The dmc is the common heritage of humankind and its value must be shared with the whole world. Once peace is established between the two careers we Work Together with north korea inscribed the dmc as a heritage site. If we designate the area connecting [inaudible] as a piece and cooperation district and transform it into a zone where both the International Committee conjointly explore the path to prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and its the dmc comes to house un offices already stationed in the two careers. Another International Organization related to peace, ecology and culture and emerge as the center for research on peace, peacekeeping, armscontrol and trust building it can become an international piece zone and name as well as absence approximately 380,000 personnel mines are laid and it is expected to take 15 years for the troops to remove them on their own. However, cooperation with the International Community will not only guarantee the transparency and stability of the Mining Operations but instantly turn to the cooperation. North korea makes the course to implement denuclearization the International Community should also reciprocate. The establishment of the international piece zone would provide an institutional and realistic guarantee to north korea security at the same time south korea will also be able to gain Permanent Peace. Chairman kim jungun and i agreed on the peaceful use of the dmc and onsite inspections of the current state of north Korea Railroad were conducted after the two careers embarked on their reconnection of the severed railroad. In addition, the grantmaking ceremonies for their reconnection and modernization has already taken place. All of these efforts constitute a process that will help solidify the foundation for peace on the Korean Peninsula and also contribute to peace and stability in northeast asia. When the dm the cuts across the metrics of the Korean Peninsula is turned into a piece zone the peninsula will evolve into a bridge of nations that connect the continent and the ocean and facilitates peace and prosperity. The vision of an east Asian Railroad community in which six European Countries and the u. S. Takes part to take reality. Representatives from countries around the world, in the aftermath of the Second World War east asia made historically unprecedented progress for mutual exchanges with the division of labor and Economic Cooperation overcoming the pain of the vision and colonial rule. The freetrade order marked by fair competition has served as its very foundation. We will be able to make further progress when we cooperate while safeguarding the values of free and fair trade that point the foundation of open furnace, suffered flexion on past history. The republic of korea intends to expand people Centric Community of mutual prosperity throughout the Korean Peninsula, east asia and the whole world. We work in partnership with our neighbors. The republic of korea commemorative summit to be held in november will serve as an opportunity to lay the foundation of the ftes of the un and Paris AgreementClimate Change are major tasks that we must achieve through multilateral cooperation. After formulating our own for implementation of spgs we are channeling considerable efforts into their implementation as we have pledged to the International Community. We connected related laws touch as Sustainable Development with the framework for low carbon growth and the International Development corporation and establish a president ial commission on Sustainable Development to ensure institutional limitation. Korea has dispatched 70000 military personnel for Un Peacekeeping on privations to date. We have stood together with people around the world who suffer from diseases and natural disasters. The declaration of shared commitments are led by secretary [inaudible] and we will assist the virtual cycle of peace and development by increasing the volume of our official development assistance. In particular, korea will actively participate in the implementation of the un trade Council Resolution on women, peace and security it will mark the 25th anniversary next year and the initiative for women in peace operations that has been adopted in vancouver 2017. You also hold the next peacekeeping ministerial in korea in 2021. Korea will host a second round of the summit partnering for a green growth and global goals 2030 next year. The second summit will serve as opportunities to strengthen the International Communities for solidarity for the implementation of the Paris Agreement. I hope the many stakeholders from government, International Organizations, businesses and Civil Society will take interest and participate. This is special for korea. One hundred years ago the Korean People launched the march for independent movement and established the provisional complement of the republic of korea. After 100 years korea is now leading the effort to achieve peaceful coexistence and inequality based on love for humanity. Korea will continue to fulfill its responsibility in the role and realizing the u. S. Goals of peace, human rights and Sustainable Development while standing together with the International Community. We will also Work Together to ensure that the u. S. Ultimate goals of International Peace and security are realized on the secure Korean Peninsula. I hope the International Community will partner and enable the miracle of force being turned into.
