"Governments have taken the lead in the current recovery; however, the private sector has to take the lead in future economic growth." said Jie-Ae Sohn in a press briefing at the media center of G8/G20 Summit.

"Korea wants to be the bridge between the G20 countries and non- G20 countries and organizations," she said.

When answering the question about South Korea's rise in the world leadership, Sohn said that his country is very serious about its responsibilities.
