On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Korean people as you celebrate your national day.
For over 70 years, the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have forged an Alliance based on shared values and mutual interests. The United States is proud to stand with the ROK, which has flourished as a resilient democracy and valued economic partner. As indispensable Allies, we will continue working together to expand prosperity and confront the most pressing global security challenges. We look forward to collaborating with President Lee Jae Myung and his administration to advance the ironclad U.S.-ROK Alliance.
We join the people of the Republic of Korea in commemorating this momentous chapter in your nation's history.
