President Park Geun-hye has received an invitation by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to attend a U.N. transport forum, slated for November, her office Cheong Wa Dae said Thursday.

But the presidential office said that no decision has been made yet over whether Park will attend the Global Sustainable Transport Conference scheduled to take place from Nov. 26-27 in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.

"I understand that the invitation under the name of Secretary-General Ban has been received (by the presidential office)," presidential spokesman Jung Youn-kuk told reporters. "No decision has been made as to whether our side will attend the meeting and who will attend it."

A local media outlet reported that the U.N. chief has invited both Park and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to the U.N. conference.

The conference, organized under Ban's initiative, seeks to discuss the role of sustainable transport in efforts to ensure sustainable development, fight climate change and tackle other related global issues. It will bring together key stakeholders from governments around the world, the private sectors and civil society. (Yonhap)
