President Lee: "Trump's Commitment to US-North Korea Dialogue Confirmed... Discussed Strategic Investment and Other Cooperation"

President Lee Jae-myung, who is visiting the United States to attend the UN General Assembly, said regarding his summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York, "Above all, it was deeply meaningful to reaffirm President Trump's commitment to U.S.-North Korea dialogue."

Tagging President Trump's account on X (formerly Twitter), President Lee said, "I met President Trump again after more than two months, following our meeting in Ankara in July."

President Lee stated, "Based on our deepened trust and friendship, it was a precious time to reaffirm our shared commitment to advancing the South Korea-U.S. alliance," adding, "As peacemakers and pacemakers, South Korea and the United States will communicate even more closely to open the way for stalled dialogue and help establish sustainable peace on the Korean Peninsula."

President Lee also said, "Following recent intensive negotiations, discussions between South Korea and the U.S. on 'strategic investment' projects have made significant progress," adding, "Along with this, we had in-depth discussions on ways to further strengthen bilateral cooperation across a broad range of areas, including nuclear submarine fuel, enrichment and reprocessing, shipbuilding cooperation, and the transfer of wartime operational control (OPCON)."

President Lee added, "President Trump brought up again the golf promise we made in Évian, France, and I look forward to meeting him again at the G20 summit to be held in Miami at the end of the year to continue our unfinished conversations."

Earlier, President Lee met President Trump at the Group of Seven (G7) summit held in Évian in June, where he received an invitation from Trump to play golf together.
