When President Yoon Seok-yeol steps onto the podium at Harvard's Kennedy School, students burst into applause.

In his speech, Yun said, "The international community must respond with resolute solidarity to acts that do not respect the freedoms of other countries, such as the invasion of Ukraine."

[President Yoon Seok-yeol: If the freedom of any one person is neglected, then the community is not a free society. A free society requires that all members of the community are free people and enjoy freedom.]

The President's Office explained that the theme of the policy speech was President Yun's thoughts on the ambivalence of freedom in the digital age in which we live.

Earlier, President Yun visited MIT at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and met with leading scholars in the field of digital biotechnology.

In his remarks, President Yun emphasized that "the ROK-U.S. alliance is not limited to national defense and security" and that "creative and innovative scientific and technological cooperation is a new area of the alliance."

[President Yoon Seok-yeol: What can we learn, benchmark, collaborate, and create new synergies in these digital fields...]

President Yun then presided over the "Korea-U.S. Cluster Roundtable" and met with Stephane Bancel, Moderna CEO, and others to discuss ways to cooperate in high-tech industrial clusters between the two countries.
