1. “My delegation has urged regional cooperation to ensure a free and rules-based trading system and to respond to the negative spillover effects caused by individual countries’ export restrictions. That will help us build resilience to future shocks by raising predictability in the global food supply. My Government endeavours to do more to create an enabling environment with a view towards fairer and more resilient trade investment in order to catalyse the requisite boost in private financing for the Sustainable Development Goals. Our immediate hope must be for the war to end. That would have the single most positive and immediate effect on global recovery and fast-rising food prices. In the meantime, we must do everything that we can to help heavily affected countries. We need fast and well- coordinated actions now more than ever before.”

2. “In order to enhance resilience to future crises, it is essential to back up social safety nets to help ensure more seamless social transfers. In the longer term, we must catalyse change to secure sustainable and balanced diets by transforming our agrifood systems. For its part, Korea has pledged to contribute $900 million in special drawing rights to the Resilience and Sustainability Trust of the International Monetary Fund and has suggested that the Trust be established within this year to assist countries in need of better adapting agriculture to a world of more frequent and severe climate shocks. Lastly, we must maintain open regional and global trade markets.”

3. “My delegation welcomes the fact that United Nations and other agencies, alongside multilateral development banks, have developed real-time analysis to carefully monitor price developments and fiscal space and call for expanding support and mitigating balance-of-payment pressures for low-income countries. Korea will further coordinate with the international community to step up humanitarian and development assistance for the hardest-hit countries in that regard. Secondly, Governments and the international community must ensure a sufficient and stable agricultural supply, both within and across countries. Financial tightening, high debt and the frequent and wide-ranging lockdowns in some countries have caused further bottlenecks in global and regional supply chains.”

4. “Korea has already joined the collective calls for a coordinated and focused action to mitigate the impact of the current food shortages and higher food prices in a variety of forums. Today I would like to highlight the following three areas, which Member States and the international community, including the Security Council, should prioritize and actively engage with. First, targeted assistance should be immediately provided to the most vulnerable people, who have been hit the hardest by surging food and fertilizer prices, along with the significant cuts in global supplies. Expediently improving access to emergency financing for farmers and small businesses would help. International action to respond to the increasing risk of a food crisis in fragile and conflict-affected States is also critical.”

5. “I thank you, Mr. President, for convening us here today around this pressing agenda. I also wish to thank the briefers for their informative and comprehensive presentations. Every day we now see dire new warnings about expanding risks from rising food and fuel prices, as well as the pressure for nearly every ordinary household worldwide. There are increasing fears that the world may be on the verge of a hunger catastrophe. Indeed, the war in Ukraine has created a crisis on top of a crisis, and that is a resulting in a massive setback for the global economy. This latest obstacle could not have come at a worse time when Governments were beginning to address the social and economic legacies of the pandemic.”
