Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun announced Seoul's plans to expand support for developing countries as part of South Korea's contribution to the international fight against COVID-19.

In his speech Tuesday at the virtual meeting of the United Nations' Initiative on Financing for Development in the Era of COVID-19 and Beyond, Chung said Seoul will expand COVID-19 humanitarian support and official development assistance(ODA).

The prime minister pledged to share South Korea's COVID-19 experience and know-how as one of the first countries to be hit by the pandemic.

Chung also announced Seoul's plan to submit by the year's end a revised plan for "nationally determined contributions"(NDC) under the Paris Agreement within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change reached in 2016.
