"Free, Peaceful, and Prosperous Indo-Pacific Strategy" of the ROK

We are living in the Indo-Pacific era.

Home to 65% of the world population, the Indo-Pacific accounts for more than 60% of the world's GDP, and half of global maritime transport.

Peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region directly affect our survival and prosperity.

That is why I propose fostering a "free, peaceful, and prosperous Indo-Pacific region" through solidarity and cooperation with major countries including ASEAN.
