when you stay with us throughout your house twenty four. hello and welcome to the friends twenty four interview our guest today is south korea's foreign minister kong. wash to drop this by supplied from sale thank you very much for being with us. thank you for having me. this is dennis south korea has earned plaudits from around the globe for tapping up the girl. that making the number of infections dropped from ninine hundred d ay inin late february to less than thirty. they also posing a lockdowns and even. date of elections this week one. south korea done differently. let me first begin by expressing my

solidarity and appreciation for all the medical- often frontline workers fighting this unprecedented health challenge around the world i think the work has been complete. valiant but all. called an- in our country my sympathy to the and the families who suddenly lost of what this crisis you govern fighting this arouound the house and so as women our solididarity with the manson. it was have able h here in couountry. presee new infections are now under fifty and that's been a continuing trend during the past week yes- we have acted quickly and- easily that is. that in twenty fourteen and we had a- very big tax where we

love. fofor a lot in the midst f their in that spot. problem by the government at the time and that has been a collective. two who all crean ups people and the following year in twenty fifteen it had a burst out. highly as fatal and i think it's the government's reaction and was also initially very transparent that dismissive and so heavily criticized it came around responded. contain up to this guy and has been very determined to be prepared when disaster strikes we not be able to provide into disaster striking but we can do a lot to prepare so you can i might.

comfort i can take the so sick con so from the very beginning we were them set and a- three we need to act quickly the m. preemptive and that is what we- and being uncompromised transparent. and open in the process our fight abobout the virus is about busts testing a very vigorous tracing and at quick treatment of the patients and- in addition to transparent and open we have all been very adadept if. in b but the or on changing nature of this challenge of a new virus- the nature of which we e don't fully understand as yet right. the this a massive testing has been a key- there reports that- d. unitited states has ordered some

six hundred thousand testing kits from south korea- are you confirming that case that south i will send such amounts and even test is to the- yes we are in fact. i think these are fda approved preliminary approval for these quickly approved and as a result of a conversation between my president and president trump last year last. month so yeah i think that you know the contract and signed and the other they be ready for shipment anytime soon. right up please. we are both at the a test case but many other countries as well right do you fear of those who quit could say. of the fire. those are sure can for come into the country those last week we've seen this happen. in china is

this a real concern in your country as well. well as i said we don't know fully about the nature of this new virus we know that it travels very quickly we know that it's highly fatal move certain people with certain medicical conditions especially in the- among the elderly people. but what we are discovering these days is that those of thank you and released. them have in fact to test positive a few days after. so now- is there is so there we are learning that we there is a lot more that we need to learn about. how the irish. in addition to the need to fight a cure and the nature of the virus the a lot of uncertainty surrounding that but also as you say now we have

many cases. found among recent travel at that have come back to the country from overseas. yes and so it this is a global challenge it is not enough that we contain the disease inside the country this is a sad at. that we'll be happy to together. community right we a job and declare a state of a- and- chosen not to impose any locked down their strict- social distancing as they're known guidelines that have been prolonged. could you consider harsher measures if you see that indeed the viruses coming back through people coming in or people being re infected. as i said our principal has been open this inotes obviously the virus travels with people so to

contain the virusus you have to contain people movement. but and you can do this from three different approaches you either. respect the freedom of movement of people and make exceptions for those who need to be contained the patients certainly but for the close contacts or you do the opposite way you. crack down on the movement and you make exception for the travel our approach has been from the very beginning by default respecting the people's right to freedom of movement and then to implement measures where necessary and proportionate to the needs to manage the risk. we now because the risk factor comes with the people traveling it coming from overseas into the countries we have. lays all travelers coming from outside the country to fourteen days of self isolation

either in their homes or in government sponsored facilities for monitoring and testing if necessary and then hospitalization if necessary so our measures have adapted to the evolving nature of this challenge but the principal has to. been to preserve that openness to the two are the very best of our abilities and that has meant a great deal of work for the government- but we have we have managed. i don't think the idea of a locked out or blockade- would be acceptable to our public even at the height of our crisis- when this was exploding in the southern city of taegu and campbell province where they- were. climbing the hon as they a maximum. per day even then we did nott impose a blockade- we advisedd strongly advised to.

pepeople to. not to go to crowdd places to stay home but we did not oppose mandatory travel bans people were still free to travel. in and out of the seat city even at that timime the ida of a blockade would be completee coununtry and mandadatory bloloe would be- contrary to our principle of openness. do you agree with president trump that all hell her position has to slow and even to the which. i think in hindsight we can say a lot of things but- i don't think anybody knew how fast this virus woods travel at the very beginning. for the w. h. o. has been a very collaborative and very health partners throughout the challenge of. communicate very close. and we support support

at w. h. o. a- technical agency the leader of this global health crisis risk. and it's- it be lots. aren't at some when we dog up but we need to support the lead agency as we try to come together in the midst of this crisis just very quickly your and north korea claims it has no case at all is it a reliable. research on. it it the show position i think we need to take that with of some grain of salt. but it is an entrance perrin to closed country- where information is very difficult to get but we watched very closely on developments with permission we are able to gardner through its official. media outlets. but we

will and we please stand i government is- we really think that is a cooperation between south and north korea on in the
