S. Korean President Moon Jae-in fourth greatest leader in the world: Fortune
Every spring,... Fortune Magazine releases the World's Greatest Leaders list,... to bring focus to key public figures.
And this year, South Korean President Moon Jae-in has landed in fourth place,... mainly for his key role in arranging talks between the two Koreas-- as well as talks between the United States and North Korea.
Our Park Hee-jun with the details. Just a week before the historic 2018 Inter-Korean summit-- South Korean President Moon Jae-in earns a new accolade.
Fortune Magazine has named President Moon as the fourth greatest leader in the world in its spring 2018 greatest leader's list.
President Moon is the highest-ranking individual on the list, with the top three spots being taken by movements or foundations.
He earned the ranking for his diplomatic approach of extending an olive branch to North Korea.
Less than a year has passed since President Moon took office in May.
But already,... he's had a pivotal role in bridging the gap between Pyongyang and the international community.
He brought the Kim Jong-un regime to the negotiating table,... which has led to the arrangements for the inter-Korean summit,... and the possible U.S.-North Korea summit in late May or early June.
The recent breakthrough began with the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics when North Korea accepted Moon's overtures and took part in the Games.
In the eyes of Fortune magazine,... such progress could be a possible prelude to reconciliation between the two Koreas.
Fortune also credited President Moon for his efforts in creating a fairer economy-- through raising the minimum wage, expanding health coverage, and tackling the issue of Korea's powerful chaebol conglomerates.
