NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung met with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday and discussed cooperation between South Korea and the world body, as well as issues concerning the Korean Peninsula.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of Lee's attendance at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, marking their third in-person meeting since Lee took office in June last year.

During the meeting, Lee highlighted his administration's efforts to build peaceful and mutually developmental coexistence between the two Koreas under the vision that building peace without the need to fight is the path toward the most secure peace, Lee's senior secretary for public affairs Seong Ghi-hong said in a press release.

Lee also said he expects close communication and cooperation with the United Nations in pursuing the vision.

Guterres expressed "active support" for Seoul's overall diplomatic policy, including its policy of building peace on the peninsula, pledging to play a possible role in helping bring the vision to fruition, Seong said.

The U.N. chief also hailed the constructive role South Korea has played in ensuring international peace and security, pursuing sustainable development and responding to climate change.

He said the role of middle-power countries, such as South Korea, is more important than ever amid deepening international divisions and tensions.

In response, Lee pledged that South Korea would play its role in ensuring that the outcomes of U.N. efforts are felt by more people.

纽约，9月22日（韩联社）——韩国总统李在明周二会见了联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯，讨论了韩国与联合国之间的合作以及朝鲜半岛相关问题。

此次会晤是在李显龙出席纽约联合国大会期间举行的，这是李显龙自去年6月就任总理以来两人的第三次面对面会晤。

李明博在会晤中强调，他的政府致力于在不诉诸武力建设和平的前提下，构建朝韩和平共处、互利共赢的局面，而和平是实现最安全和平的途径。李明博的公共事务高级秘书成基洪在一份新闻稿中表示。

李还表示，他希望在实现这一愿景的过程中与联合国保持密切沟通与合作。

成表示，古特雷斯对首尔的整体外交政策，包括其在半岛建设和平的政策，表示“积极支持”，并承诺在帮助实现这一愿景方面发挥可能的作用。

联合国秘书长还赞扬了韩国在维护国际和平与安全、追求可持续发展和应对气候变化方面发挥的建设性作用。

他表示，在国际分裂和紧张局势日益加深的背景下，韩国等中等强国的作用比以往任何时候都更加重要。

对此，李光耀承诺，韩国将发挥自身作用，确保联合国努力的成果惠及更多民众。
