Urgency in Middle East Impacts Global Financial Markets

The escalating tensions in the Middle East have prompted South Korean President Lee Jae Myung to express deep concern over their potential impact on global financial markets, which he described as increasingly unstable.

During a statement on Monday, President Lee highlighted the urgency of the situation and cautioned that the rising uncertainty could further disrupt economic stability.

In response to these developments, President Lee instructed his senior aides to prepare supplementary measures, designed to integrate into a proposed extra budget, as a precautionary step if the situation continues to deteriorate.
