SEOUL, Sept. 8 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung vowed Tuesday to continue efforts to promote peaceful coexistence with North Korea and mutual prosperity on the Korean Peninsula through dialogue based on "firm deterrence."

Lee made the remarks in a video message for the opening ceremony of the Seoul Defense Dialogue (SDD), stressing the need for stronger security cooperation amid unprecedented and complex challenges in the international security environment.

"We will unwaveringly continue efforts to achieve peaceful coexistence and shared prosperity on the Korean Peninsula through trust and dialogue based on firm deterrence," Lee said.

He added that South Korea is working to broaden the horizon for dialogue on peace and prosperity through mutual respect and cooperation based on its independent defense capabilities.

"Confrontations and armed conflicts between countries are continuing across the world while the global nuclear nonproliferation regime that has underpinned global peace for decades is also being seriously undermined," he said.

Lee also noted that rapidly advancing technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), have become a source of new security threats that are unpredictable.

He called for a new model of security cooperation based on "strong deterrence, international norms and shared resilience," saying such challenges cannot be addressed by a single country.

首尔，9月8日（韩联社）——韩国总统李在明周二誓言，将继续努力通过基于“坚定威慑”的对话，促进与朝鲜的和平共处和朝鲜半岛的共同繁荣。

李在首尔防务对话（SDD）开幕式的视频致辞中发表了上述讲话，强调在国际安全环境面临前所未有的复杂挑战的情况下，需要加强安全合作。

李说：“我们将坚定不移地继续努力，通过基于坚定威慑的信任和对话，在朝鲜半岛实现和平共处和共同繁荣。”

他还表示，韩国正努力通过相互尊重与合作，在自身独立自主的国防能力基础上，拓宽和平与繁荣对话的视野。

他说：“世界各国之间的对抗和武装冲突仍在继续，而几十年来支撑全球和平的全球核不扩散机制也正受到严重破坏。”

李还指出，包括人工智能在内的快速发展的技术已经成为不可预测的新安全威胁的来源。

他呼吁建立一种基于“强大的威慑力、国际规范和共同韧性”的新型安全合作模式，并表示此类挑战无法由单个国家应对。
