Our Correspondent Yoon Jung-min, who's traveling with the president has a recap of the trip and takes a look at what it means for Korea's diplomacy.

"Today, I proudly announce that a new Republic of Korea, which will be a beacon of light for global citizens, has completely returned to the international community." He was referring to Korea's recovery from the martial law incident last December, as he introduced a new initiative to end confrontation on the Korean Peninsula. "Through comprehensive dialogue centered on 'Exchange,' 'Normalization,' and 'Denuclearization,' in other words, 'END,' we must end the era of hostility and confrontation on the Korean Peninsula and usher in a new era of peaceful coexistence and shared growth."

Another key takeaway was South Korea leading an open debate at the UN Security Council for the responsible use of AI, at a time of growing uncertainty. No other South Korean leader has presided over the debate as chair. "The Republic of Korea, as a responsible global power, is committed to leading international cooperation to ensure that AI becomes a tool for building a sustainable future for humanity." Lee's UN debut means a lot for Korea's summit diplomacy, says his National Security Adviser, Wi Sung-lac.

"President Lee's trip to the United Nations shows summit diplomacy is now on a stable trajectory, something which has unfolded very quickly since the G7 summit right after he took office in June." Economic diplomacy was also at the center, with Lee having met BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, American financiers, and leaders from European countries, including the Czech Republic, for economic cooperation.

The president also met U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent amid the allies' stalled trade talks to lower Trump's sweeping tariffs. This was President Lee's debut on the UN stage, a major platform for multilateral diplomacy and dialogue. As he concludes his U.S. trip, more summit diplomacy awaits the South Korean leader at home next month, with APEC member economies. Yoon Jung-min, Arirang News, New York.
