Blue House spokesperson Kang Min-seok explained in a written briefing that "these lawmakers are prominent 'pro-Korea' members who have actively engaged in legislative activities to promote the Korea-U.S. alliance (such as the Korea-U.S. Alliance Strengthening Act and resolutions supporting the Korea-U.S. alliance) and the Korean Peninsula (such as resolutions urging a declaration to end the Korean War) within the U.S. Congress."

In the congratulatory message, President Moon expressed his gratitude for their efforts leading the development of Korea-U.S. relations, stating, "The interest and support these lawmakers have shown toward Korea-U.S. relations have laid the foundation for strengthening the alliance between the two countries."

Furthermore, spokesperson Kang conveyed that President Moon requested their continued attention and support so that the Korea-U.S. alliance, which has served as a key pillar of peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and in the region for the past 67 years, can continue to contribute to peace on the Korean Peninsula and the stability and prosperity of the international community through shared values and interests.
