During a forum marking nearly three decades since the country joined the international body, Chung reaffirmed Moon Jae-in administration's "unwavering" efforts for lasting peace on the divided peninsula, as Seoul and Washington seek a diplomatic strategy to resume nuclear diplomacy with Pyongyang.

"The Moon administration has been unwavering in its efforts to establish permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula from the very beginning, winning the full fledged support of the global community, including the UN," he said in a video message during the forum hosted by his ministry. "Seoul’s efforts will continue until the UN values of peace, liberty and prosperity are fully established on the Korean Peninsula," he added.

Outlining South Korea's goals for the next three decades as a UN member, Chung said South Korea intends to continue participation and contribution throughout the whole process of peace.
