In addition to addressing North Korea’s actions, Yoon and Luxon strongly condemned Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine. They reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and efforts toward achieving a lasting peace. The summit also served as an opportunity for South Korea and New Zealand to strengthen bilateral ties, with both leaders agreeing to establish a regular economic security dialogue to tackle shared challenges.
