Staying with the South Korean leader's first speech to the world leaders at the UN.
Many knew continued call for a peaceful approach to the North Korean issue would be at the
heart of it.
However, it's not just what's being said but how it's said that captivates the audience.
Lee Ji-won has an analysis of his delivery and choice of words.
32 mentions of the word 'peace,'... and 10 uses of the word 'people'.
These were the key words in South Korean President Moon Jae-in's first address to the world leaders
at the UN General Assembly.
At the start of his 15 minute speech, President Moon stressed how South Korea's new administration
and the United Nations both value putting people first.
(Kor) "Among other things, it is truly meaningful
that the theme of this session of the UN General Assembly, "Focusing on People," is in line
with the philosophy of governance of the new administration in the Republic of Korea.(
' ' . "
Saying that "People come first" has long been his political philosophy, President Moon showed
strong support for the UN, and promised to contribute more to the international body.
And as President Moon stressed the common values his administration shares with the
UN,... he brought up the daunting task that they must solve together by putting "people
first": North Korea's nuclear weapons development.
President Moon, once again, reiterated Seoul's stance on the issue.
(Kor) "We do not desire the collapse of North Korea.
We will not seek unification by absorption or artificial means.
If North Korea makes a decision even now to stand on the right side of history, we are
ready to assist North Korea together with the international community.
( . . , .)"
Despite North Korea's 6th nuclear test earlier in the month,...
President Moon maintained his position, which he stated in Berlin in July, where he proclaimed
a vision for peace.
And experts say, at a time when tensions are high, it is important for South Korea to keep
a balanced approach.
(Kor) "There is much more for South Korea to consider
in this grave situation than the U.S. or any other countries, such as its geographical
location.
And it's vital that President Moon shares South Korea's perspective on this issue with
the international community."
President Moon's peaceful approach was also praised by many experts for its suitability
for the UN stage.
(Kor) "The UN is where world leaders gather to solve
global issues, peacefully through dialogue.
President Trump's hardline stance on North Korea did not garner much popularity from
the member states.
Many European countries, including the U.K., still hope to solve Pyongyang's nuclear issues
diplomatically and peacefully."
And some experts have pointed out that President Moon has planted a message for his U.S. counterpart
Donald Trump.
(Sept. 19, 2017) "The United States has great strength and
patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but
to totally destroy North Korea.
"
Though Moon said, in his speech, the international community must sternly respond to Pyongyang's
nuclear program,... he also stressed they must not forget that all these efforts are
being made to prevent the outbreak of war and to maintain peace.
Saying that the North Korean nuclear issue needs to be managed "stably" to avoid raising
tensions further,... the South Korean leader quoted former U.S. President Ronald Reagan,
saying that "Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful
means."
(Kor) "President Trump had previously taken a jab
at President Moon's efforts for talks with the North by saying that such "appeasement"
will not work.
But with President Moon quoting Reagan, the Republican leader whose foreign affairs policies
are still assessed as "successful",... he could be hinting at Trump to be not too critical
of the peaceful approach."
And with the world leaders gathered in front of him, President Moon also called for their
cooperation in implementing the UN resolutions,... which the experts believe could lead to a
change.
(Eng) "I think all of this adds up to something.
For now, it hasn't really impacted Pyongyang's views, but let's see if we can increase the
number of these diplomats who are asked to leave their country, if we up the economic
pressure,... we will never know until we go down that path and we try to do this really
earnestly."
Though some critics say President Moon could have sent a stronger message to the North,...
many experts rated his first speech at the UN positively,... as a well-rounded speech
that took its audience into account, and clearly stated Seoul's stance on the current tensions.
