[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] *Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (Interpreter: Simon Smith, Ambassador to Korea)

This is a message from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to the President and people of the Republic of Korea, as well as to all veterans who participated in the Korean War. Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh send their greetings to the people of the Republic of Korea and all veterans on the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Her Majesty the Queen mourns with you all those who sacrificed their lives to protect the Republic of Korea.

*Prime Minister Boris Johnson

Seventy years ago, during the Korean War, dozens of Firefly and Spitfire carrier-based fighter planes took off from the deck of the HMS Triumph aircraft carrier, marking the beginning of the United Kingdom's participation in the war. Before the armistice agreement was signed, more than 80,000 British Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel fought to protect the Republic of Korea from the threat of communist forces. Among them, thousands of British soldiers never returned home. However, looking at the Republic of Korea today, I feel that their sacrifice was never in vain. The Republic of Korea honors those who sacrificed their lives through peaceful achievements. Just as it was 70 years ago, the United Kingdom stands with the Republic of Korea today as well.
