South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol returned to Seoul on Monday following a week-long visit to Indonesia and India, where he attended ASEAN and G20 summit meetings. Yoon took part in multiple multilateral consultations such as the East Asia Summit, and also had around 20 bilateral meetings with foreign leaders in Jakarta and New Delhi.
At the ASEAN summit in Jakarta, Yoon’s focus was to urge the international community, particularly the P5 nations of the U.N. Security Council including China and Russia, to collaborate in addressing North Korea threats. He argued that the DPRK’s nuclear weapons could potentially strike any of the member states present at the summit. Yoon’s foreign minister Park Jin met with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov during the G20 summit and callled for Moscow’s “constructive role” in DPRK-related issues at the Security Council.
