   "Lagarde shared the point that South Korea's stable economic growth will be sustained in spite of the grave situation involving issues like North Korea's recent sixth nuclear test," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

   The managing director of the IMF also highlighted the importance of institutional support for women workers to sustain steady global economic development.

   Kang, on her part, stressed the necessity of the IMF's active role for global economic growth and financial stability, according to the ministry. (Yonhap)
