First Lady Kim Hye-kyung, spouse of President Lee Jae-myung, attended a luncheon event, "Fostering the Future Together," hosted by Melania Trump, spouse of U.S. President Donald Trump.

On the afternoon of September 22, local time, Kim met with Melania Trump at the luncheon held at the St. Regis Hotel and expressed her gratitude for organizing such a meaningful event.

Welcoming the spouses of world leaders, including Kim, Melania Trump said, "The future of the world will be determined by what we do for children today."

Kim said, "The coalition has grown rapidly based on the shared understanding that the advancement of digital technology must lead to a better future for our children."

She continued, "The challenges of the digital transition cannot be resolved through the efforts of any single country alone," emphasizing the need for international cooperation, and noted, "South Korea is also making various efforts toward digital education that expands learning opportunities while safeguarding children's safety."

Ahn Gwi-ryeong, deputy spokesperson for Cheong Wa Dae, commented, "This event served as an occasion to reaffirm the international community's solidarity and commitment to cooperation for future generations, rooted in a shared recognition that we must expand learning opportunities through digital technology while firmly ensuring children's safety."

The "Fostering the Future Together" coalition is an alliance among spouses of world leaders launched by Melania Trump on the occasion of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly last year.

It aims to support children so that they can grow up healthy in the digital era through education, innovation, and technology.
