Lee mentioned Cheomseongdae in Gyeongju.

Lee emphasized, "To achieve shared prosperity, we must also work hard to distribute the fruits of growth evenly." Lee said, "Through the Jeju initiative adopted in Sept., we launched the APEC Start - Up Alliance that supports the growth of Jeju corporations," adding, "Korea will continue to fulfill its role as a 'leading nation' that generously shares its experiences of economic growth and development."
