President Park Geun-hye took part in the United Nations Security Council Summit held on September 24.
At the meeting chaired by U.S. President Barack Obama, participants in the meeting keenly discussed issues regarding terrorist violence, an issue that has become a serious threat to world peace and security.
President Park said that the Islamic State (IS) has become very active in Syria and Iraq and that IS terrorists recruited from across the world are no longer the problem of solely a single region or country, but an issue for all of international society. To deal with the threat, the president emphasized swift, effective and systematic joint action by the international community.
In addition, Park emphasized that there must be a strict enforcement of laws and an effective shutoff to the financial resources of the IS. Speaking of the importance of fundamental measures to deal with the environment in which terrorists develop, the president suggested the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and effective governance as measures that would help eliminate the root causes of terrorism.
In the afternoon, President Park made a speech at the high-level meeting of the Global Education First Initiative (GEFI). The president said it is time for the international community to take action to provide quality education. She outlined Korea's experience in achieving its "miracle on the Han River" by carrying out varying education policies based on its stage of economic development.
The president also said Korea would share its experiences with other countries and that it will successfully host the World Education Forum 2015 in a bid to contribute to a future vision for global education.
