During the call, former President Moon reportedly conveyed his positive impressions of President Lee's press conference held on the 18th. Given that former President Moon is soon to leave for the United States, it is also believed that the two discussed President Lee's upcoming keynote address at the UN General Assembly and recent diplomatic issues between South Korea and the United States.



However, the Blue House stated, "It is difficult to disclose specific details of the call." Both parties emphasized that unity within the ruling party and national integration are important.
