In a recent Facebook update, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, shared his participation in the ASEAN-Korea Leaders Forum - Special Program of the Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity, held at the Jeju International Convention Center on Jeju Island, South Korea.
Romualdez expressed his gratitude and extended greetings to Kim Jin-Pyo, the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea (ROK), for their invitation to the 18th Jeju Forum. The forum served as a platform to address various regional issues concerning peace, security, and vibrant economies for all participating nations. Romualdez emphasized the importance of collaboration between interparliamentary bodies in discussing different transnational and global threats. This meeting aimed to foster stronger ties and cooperation among ASEAN member countries and South Korea.
Alongside Romualdez, other distinguished personalities attended the forum, including Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, Timor Leste President Jose Ramos Horta, and former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
