From
April 16 to 17, Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul attended the 4th Partnering
for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit held in Hanoi, Vietnam,
under the theme “Global Partnership for an Inclusive, Innovative, and
People-Centered Green Transition.”
The

including Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Ethiopian Prime Minister
Abiy Ahmed Ali, Laotian Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone, Cambodian Deputy
Prime Minister Neth Savoeun, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof (via video), and

of international organizations, multilateral development banks, green
technology startups, investors, and youth organizations, with notable figures
such as UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and GGGI Director-General
Kim Sang-hyup in attendance.
In his
remarks during the High-Level Plenary on April 16, Minister Cho emphasized the
urgent need to restore global momentum in the fight against climate change. He
called on the international community to pursue the green transition with a
strong foundation in innovation, inclusiveness, and solidarity.
Minister
Cho reaffirmed Korea’s commitment to climate action, recognizing the P4G
platform as a bridge between developed and developing countries, and a key
facilitator of public-private cooperation and civil society participation. He
also announced Korea’s plan to contribute approximately USD 1.8 million in new
funding to P4G, highlighting the country’s voluntary and proactive support for
the initiative. Korea has been a founding member of P4G since its inception in
2018 and previously hosted the 2nd P4G Summit in Seoul in 2021.
