"New York is an international hub for global business, commerce, and finance... in fact, one of the largest financial centers on the planet.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in, on day three of his four-day visit to New York, set his eyes on Wall Street... rolling up his sleeves to reassure big name investors that his economy remains strong... despite all."

It's a rare sight... but the president's message to 200 top U.S. investors at his first overseas investor relations event is loud and clear: Korea, U.S. free trade agreement is benefits both nations... and now more than ever is the time to invest in South Korea.

"It is crystal clear that the Korea, U.S. FTA benefits both countries in expanding trade, increasing market accessibility, boosting investments and creating job opportunities."
FTA , , , .

Mr. Moon, however, said... upon Washington's request, Seoul will have a dialogue with an open mind.

But, his key goal in his first IR event: quelling investment concerns stemming from continued threats posed by his neighbor to the North.

(Korean)
"I'm sure the U.S. business community and finance industry are concerned about the recent nuclear and missile provocations by North Korea."

But... Mr. Moon asserted that when North Korea abandons its nuclear and missile program and take the path to dialogue, a new economic map will be drawn and Korea will become an even more attractive destination for investment.

(Korean)
"I speak with confidence that this is the time to invest in the Korean economy which is making another leap forward."

(English)
"Sharing your views... it's very comforting and important and wish you well on that. What I want to say is that Koreans make great partners."

"The South Korean president now has a big day ahead of him. On the fourth and final day of his New York visit comes the highlight. He'll make debut on the United Nations, he'll deliver a key message to North Korea and the international community and sit down with his ally U.S. President Donald Trump.
