In April 2024, CAPS President and CEO, Mrs. Hee-Eun Kim, met with His Excellency Ban Ki-moon for a bilateral discussion. H.E. Ban shared his profound vision for a better world, shaped by a lifetime of dedicated service. Even after his tenure as UN Secretary-General, he continues to be a global leader, passionately advocating for holistic stability, including climate change mitigation and a rules-based international order. His emphasis on justice and support for those in need is particularly inspiring.

H.E. Ban’s commitment to these issues deeply resonates with CAPS’ own mission and values. His invaluable insights on climate change and sustainable development will inform our food supply chain and economic security projects. As Mrs. Kim remarked, “I hope the international community can work more closely together to prevent potential crises.” CAPS is committed to honoring the spirit of H.E. Ban’s leadership in our work.
