Yonhap News<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">President Lee Jae-myung on the 19th stressed that &#8220;based on the high power of culture, we will carry on Baekbeom&#8217;s vision of a nation that jointly protects humanity&#8217;s precious heritage and contributes to world peace and prosperity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Lee made the remarks in a congratulatory address at the &#8220;Opening Ceremony of the 48th Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee&#8221; held in Busan that day. &#8220;That the UNESCO World Heritage Committee is being held in the Republic of Korea this year, the 150th anniversary of the birth of Baekbeom Kim Koo, is surely no coincidence,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Decades ago, Baekbeom Kim Koo dreamed of a nation that contributes to humanity through the high power of culture rather than a wealthy and powerful nation,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;He found the root of humanity&#8217;s misfortune within the human heart, and he emphasized that the only way to overcome it is culture itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">He continued, &#8220;The spirit of the UNESCO Constitution, that &#8216;the defenses of peace must be constructed in the minds of men,&#8217; points to exactly the same place as the insight of Baekbeom Kim Koo, who sought to realize peace through culture and lead the harmony of humanity.&#8221; He added, &#8220;In solidarity with the world, we will build a more peaceful and more prosperous future for humanity together with UNESCO.&#8221; Lee concluded his address by saying, &#8220;I hope this session becomes a new milestone for the protection of world heritage and international cooperation.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Lee Jae-myung delivers a congratulatory address at the opening ceremony of the 48th UNESCO World Heritage Committee&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[47922,1599,47920,47919,31,146,2322,33,20302,47921],"class_list":["post-91134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-south-korea","tag-baekbeom","tag-busan","tag-cultural-power","tag-kim-koo","tag-korea","tag-lee-jae-myung","tag-president-lee-jae-myung","tag-south-korea","tag-unesco-world-heritage-committee","tag-world-peace"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
