President Moon Jae-in, on a state visit to New Zealand, sat down on Monday with Governor-General Patsy Reddy for a working lunch... where the two discussed ways to further boost bilateral relations.
There, the president praised the Pacific nation's social integration policy embracing the native Maori people,... something he says mirrors a policy he's pursuing in his own country.
"The Governor-General mentioned the Maori saying, 'What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.' It think that's very impressive. New Zealand has embraced its native people, leading to social integration. In this, I see sincere respect and consideration."
President Moon added that he hopes the two countries build on the idea of pursuing inclusivity.
That sentiment also echoed by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who said in a statement that the two nations have a shared domestic policy in that respect... on which they will be looking to exchange views and experiences.
The Governor-General expressed support for President Moon's push for peace on the Korean Peninsula,... and said that the president has made a good start despite the long journey ahead.
Earlier in the day, the South Korean President visited New Zealand's Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and paid his respects.
"Still left on President Moon's schedule in New Zealand is the summit with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and a joint press conference.
In those, President Moon is likely to discuss issues of economic cooperation and joint efforts on North Korea, an area where New Zealand has welcomed the South Korean leader's efforts to resolve long standing challenges.
