APEC 하이라이트 '정상회의'… '경주선언' 채택될까 The highlight of this year's APEC will be the Gyeongju Declaration, and that's only if the APEC member leaders decide to settle on like-minded goals and plans going forward. Will APEC 2025 Korea realize the Gyeongju Declaration? For answers, we've invited Professor Andrew Millard. Welcome back, Professor Millard. Also joining us is Professor Song Soo-young. Hello to you, Professor Song. 1. How does the adoption of a declaration work, in this in case, for APEC? 2. Why are we obsessing over this declaration? 3. The official APEC day wrapped up with no Gyeongju Declaration. What's taking them so long, do you think? 4. What do you think the Gyeongju Declaration will entail? 5. Then what do you think this Gyeongju Declaration must include? 6. But aren't we missing U.S. President Donald Trump? Will that make the Gyeongju Declaration not a complete one, with the U.S. not being a part of it during APEC? 7. What do you think would constitute a successful APEC Leaders' Meeting, other than drawing out the Gyeongju Declaration? 8. Do you think the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the occasion of APEC played any role in serving the common goals of APEC that leads up to a declaration like the Gyeongju Declaration? 9. How is the role of APEC expected to change in the future? 10. APEC leaders are now wrapping up the big day with a dinner. What did you think of President Lee's speech at the banquet? What stood out to you? Thank you, Professor Song, for coming in tonight. Professor Millard, it was a pleasure to have you with us once again. We appreciate it. #APEC #APEC_2025_Summit #Gyeongju #Declaration #Gyeongju_Declaration #APEC_정상회의 #경주 #경주_선언 #APEC_경주선언 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-10-31, 20:00 (KST) yt:video:xBVLHt_a7WE xBVLHt_a7WE UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-10-31T15:26:12+00:00 2025-10-31T15:31:36+00:00 Pres. Lee holds summits with leaders from the Philippines, Chile and UAE 李 대통령, 필리핀•칠레 정상과 연쇄 회담… 경제•안보 협력 강화 Following his summit talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, President Lee Jae Myung today bonded with the leaders of the UAE, the Philippines and Chile. Our Kim Bo-kyoung has this story. President Lee Jae Myung held several summits on Friday, bonding ties with other leaders of APEC members. During the summit with the Philippines, President Lee underlined how this year marks the first anniversary of establishing a strategic partnership between the two, and agreed to continue working closely for more cooperation. "For many years, Korea and the Philippines have supported and cooperated with each other as friendly nations, and I hope that President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr.’s visit today will serve as an opportunity to establish a deeper and more advanced level of cooperation between our two countries." "We have already reached several milestones, one of which was the bilateral free trade agreement, and also our cooperation in areas of defense and security, amongst other key areas of mutual interest." While welcoming President Gabriel Boric Font's first visit to Korea, President Lee noted that Chile has established itself as a key partner in the region. "Whether it’s being the first to recognize the Republic of Korea or the first to sign a free trade agreement, in many ways, Chile shares a special relationship with Korea." "In the early 2000s, we signed an FTA. I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that Chile is strongly committed to improving the FTA with Korea." To this suggestion, President Lee proposed exploring mutually beneficial solutions in FTA improvement talks. Regarding talks on cooperation in critical minerals and renewable energy, the two agreed that combining Korea’s manufacturing technology with Chile’s abundant energy and mineral resources could create great synergy. These summits were after President Lee met with Crown Prince Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi earlier in the morning. Referring to the UAE as “the only country in the Middle East that maintains a special strategic partnership with the Republic of Korea, ” President Lee underlined how the two countries hold great potential in cultural cooperation, and expressed hopes for the UAE to play a significant role in helping to promote the spread of K-culture, which is currently gaining great popularity across the Middle East. The crown prince underlined how the UAE's relationship with South Korea is a special and important one, saying what makes it special is that it is built on trust. Pointing out that strengthening ties and cooperation among Asian nations is also a priority for the UAE, he invited Lee to visit Abu Dhabi in November.

And at this year's edition, Korean-American star chef Edward Lee took the lead making it even more special. Our culture correspondent Park Kun-woo delivers the taste from Gyeongju. 400 guests, fascinated by an authentic Korean-style meal served during the Economics Leader's Gala Dinner on Friday. Featuring Gyeongju specialties such as premium beef for galbijjim, or braised short ribs, and local greens for bibimbap, mixed rice with soy sauce and sesame oil, along with side dishes of tofu and white kimchi were only some of the highlights. Behind all of this is Korean-American star chef Edward Lee, the head chef of the gala dinner, who was also the guest chef for the 2023 Korea-U.S. summit. Since kimchi cuisine went viral worldwide after the dinner during the 2005 edition of APEC in Busan, many are wondering what the "next kimchi" may be, and Lee answers. "I can't pick one favorite but I hope the guests come away with a sense of history and a sense of like the whole landscape of Korean cuisine, and we really want to feature gamtae, persimmon, and pine nuts. You know, these to me are really symbolic." A fusion of Western-style, combining traditional Deonjang paste and rice cake with caramel, made the dinner even more unique. That was even served in the mother-of-pearl box so that guests could take home a lasting memory. Lee stressed his goal was to introduce traditional Korean food in a modern, innovative way. "There's a beautiful history of Korean food that I don't want to change. Another part of Korean food that's really innovative. I wanted to show how Korean ingredients can adapt and be innovative and really capture a global audience. People will go away and remember Korean cuisine as something that is just really, you know, layered and delicate." The paired dinner drinks have also drawn attention. One standout was the toast drink "Horangi Yuzu Korean rice wine" that won first place in the Agriculture Ministry's competition for toast drinks last September. As the dinner drinks chosen back in 2005, including Bokbunjajoo, Korean blackberry wine, saw explosive growth afterward, even leading to export deals, expectations are high once again for this year's selection. And as the meal and paired drinks were showcased to a wide range of people, including leaders of APEC members, K-food's global momentum seems to show no signs of slowing down.

Our Park Hyo-been has the details. From economic diplomacy to discussions on global innovation, President Lee Jae Myung’s schedule was packed with back-to-back meetings with key global figures on Friday. The discussions centered on South Korea’s economic outlook and global cooperation in artificial intelligence. President Lee met with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, and sought her advice on the outlook for both the South Korean and global economies. In response, she said Korea has become a model for other nations, emphasizing the importance of continued structural reforms and international cooperation. "We admire the achievements of Korea and even more so your plans for the future to provide evidence for the rapid expansion of innovation as a driver of economic growth, and to lift up the potential growth of the country." Artificial intelligence was another key focus. President Lee, joined by top business leaders including Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, and Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun, met with the head of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, to discuss ways to advance innovation across South Korea’s AI infrastructure and ecosystem. "I'm confident that South Korea can serve as a true testing ground for the AI era, a place where any challenge will not lead to failure, but to success." "Korea can be one of the world's major AI hubs. My friends and I have many announcements to make together for us to work together, to help advance AI here in Korea. In every industry, from automotive to manufacturing to CHIP fabs, all the way to consumer electronics." NVIDIA also pledged to supply about 260-thousand high-performance GPUs to the South Korean government and four major companies, namely Samsung, Hyundai Motor, SK and Naver, by 2030. The deal is valued at up to 14 trillion won, or about 10 billion U.S. dollars, marking a significant step in the country’s AI ambitions. Earlier in talks with ABAC, President Lee reaffirmed his pledge to build a practical, market-oriented government, highlighting South Korea’s potential as a promising investment destination for firms. "South Korea's economy will continue to grow and advance. I am confident that the country will become an even more attractive destination to invest in." "At the heart of APEC 2025 Korea, the message from South Korea was clear: partnership and innovation are key to the future.

Our correspondent Moon Ji-young reports. The last day of the APEC CEO Summit in Korea was especially highlighted by a special speech by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Huang emphasized that AI will profoundly impact every industry, and underscored the critical importance of building robust AI infrastructure. He also added that the AI era offers immense opportunities for Korea. "For Korea, this is an extraordinary opportunity because in very few countries in the world do you have three fundamental, essential, necessary qualities in order to succeed. The first is you need software. Software expertise is one of those skills that Korea has abundance of, technical and science capability, and third, manufacturing capability." He also announced Nvidia's plan to deploy 250-thousand more GPUs in South Korea, partnering with local tech giants such as Samsung Electronics, SK Group, Hyundai, and Naver. This initiative aims to establish Korea as one of the world's largest AI infrastructure hubs. Global energy giants gathered to discuss the growing energy demand in the AI era, another key agenda item, and the crucial role of next-generation nuclear power. The IAEA stressed that nuclear power must play a key role, which is driven by AI data centers and digital transformation. Westinghouse reaffirmed its plans to further cooperate with Korea. "On behalf of Westinghouse, I would like to reaffirm that Westinghouse is fully committed to supporting our partners in Korea and to have more success in the future." Westinghouse's partnership with Korea has continuously evolved. They've worked together to deliver the APR 1400 nuclear reactor, developed by Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power, in the UAE, and similar efforts are now underway in the Czech Republic. TerraPower highlighted its strong collaboration with Korean firms, saying that they are huge investors and partners, including HD Hyundai and SK Group. "Chairman Chey and SK Group, I think, really had shared the same vision as Bill Gates for the future of advanced nuclear energy, and they've been a great investor." In another session, SK Group stressed the pivotal role natural gas and LNG are poised to play in the AI era, highlighting the need for international cooperation to ensure its stable supply. These comprehensive discussions underscored that the future of AI critically hinges on both groundbreaking technological innovation and sustainable energy solutions. "This year's summit saw a strong exchange of AI and cutting-edge technologies, solidifying Korea's role as a key player in global economic cooperation.

I'm Kim Mok-yeon. The 2025 APEC Leaders’ Meeting has officially opened in Gyeongju, marking Korea’s first time hosting in 20 years. President Lee Jae Myung welcomed heads of 21 member economies including a first face-to-face meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. With global protectionism deepening and geopolitical tensions rising, attention now turns to how Korea will leverage this moment. Can it lead meaningful dialogue on free trade and economic cooperation and what direction will the upcoming “Gyeongju Declaration” signal for the region? For answers to this, we connect to Jeffrey Robertson, Associate Professor of Diplomatic Studies at Yonsei University. Welcome. 1. So like I mentioned, Professor, Korea has become the host of APEC for the first time in 20 years. What kind of impact do you think this will have on Korea’s diplomatic standing? 2. Given the current global trend of rising protectionism, what is the diplomatic and economic significance of hosting the APEC summit in Gyeongju? 3. That brings us to the Gyeongju Declaration. Foreign Minister Cho Hyun says there are disagreements between the U.S. and other member states over whether to explicitly support “free trade” in the final text. What’s your outlook? 4. If those divisions persist, do you see any realistic chance for APEC to restore multilateral trade—or even propose new forms of regional cooperation? 5. Turning to key agenda topics, AI cooperation and demographic strategy have both been listed as priorities. How do you view this trend of technology and population issues expanding into the diplomatic and security arena? 6. Lastly, a series of major summits were held alongside APEC—including Korea-U.S., Korea-Japan, and U.S.-China talks. What role do you think these played in advancing President Lee Jae-myung’s pragmatic diplomacy agenda? But this year’s APEC summit wasn’t just about trade. For the first time, AI and demographic strategy were elevated as core agenda items—marking a clear shift where technology is now shaping diplomacy itself. So what’s behind Korea’s push for AI leadership, and how far can its initiative go? For a deeper discussion on this, we're joined in the studio by Park Juyong, Professor at the Graduate School of Culture Technology at KAIST. Thank you for joining us. 1. Let’s begin with AI cooperation. South Korea, as the chair of this year’s APEC, has made AI collaboration a central issue. What’s the reasoning behind this decision, and why is it significant? How could this boost cooperation among member states? 2. President Lee Jae Myung proposed an ‘AI Initiative’ at the summit. How would you assess this initiative? And how does it differ from other international discussions? 3. Still, there are real challenges. There are still wide gaps in technology and regulation among member countries. What are the major policy challenges APEC economies need to jointly address for a successful AI transition? 4. If Korea is to take the lead in global AI governance, what conditions need to be in place for the AI Initiative to become more than a one-off proposal? 5. Meanwhile, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced a large-scale AI partnership with Korean firms, including the supply of over 260,000 Blackwell AI chips. What is the significance of this kind of global AI ecosystem cooperation, and how could it impact Korea? Thank you for your insights Prof Park, we appreciate it. yt:video:BgCMYmobJE8 BgCMYmobJE8 UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-10-31T11:06:36+00:00 2025-10-31T11:23:09+00:00 How close are we to Gyeongju Declaration? APEC 정상회의 오늘 개막… '경주선언' 채택될까 South Korea is striving to realize the Gyeongju Declaration, to reflect APEC's spirit of free and open trade and economic cooperation. But, just how close are we to the Gyeongju Declaration? For that we turn to Professor Lee Hee-eun, joining us here in our Gyeongju studio. Welcome. Also on my right is our foreign affairs correspondent Oh Soo-young. Welcome back, Soo-young. 1. APEC Leaders appear to be still working on finalizing the Gyeongju Declaration. Why do you think it's taking a bit of time? 2. And it could come out as late as tomorrow, on Saturday, right? 3. What do you think the Gyeongju Declaration will entail? 4. Then what do you think this Gyeongju Declaration must include? 5. What do you think would constitute a successful APEC Leaders' Meeting, other than drawing out the Gyeongju Declaration? 6. How is the role of APEC expected to change in the future? 7. The official APEC day will wrap up with a banquet in the coming hour. What will this banquet involve other than good food? 8. What significance does this dinner gala carry, Soo-young? 9. And the choice of alcoholic beverage also comes into the spotlight, as its significance carries more than just alcohol, right? Yes, Korea's traditional liquor and wines are diverse, and there's been a selection of different wines chosen for this entire APEC week. There are clear rice wines, or cheongju, milky rice wine called makgeoli, distilled liquor or soju, and fruit wine called gwasilju, and of course, other flower wines, and medicinal wines. We're not sure which wine or liquor will be prepared for world leaders tonight, but I happened to talk to the owner of a makgeoli, or rice wine, brewery whose wine, called NERD, was enjoyed as the official liquor of the CEO Summit. The owner comes from a fintech background from one of the country's leading engineering universities, KAIST, thus he says it was his honour to serve the biggest tech nerds in the world, representing the likes of SK chairman Chey Tae-won OpenAI, Google, and Samsung at the CEO Summit. He says the inclusive nature of makgeoli signifies the kind of unity that represents the spirit of APEC. "I think harmony of culture is the very essential of the Korean rice wine. So we want to make the harmony culture with that. So I think it is a very essential point of that." I must say the wine went down very smoothly, and we hope to see the same kind of blended unity emerge from the leaders' final discussion tomorrow. 10. President Lee is expected to deliver a banquet speech. What do you think he'll highlight there? Thanks for taking the time to be with us this afternoon. We appreciate it. Soo-young, always a pleasure to have you with us.
