On the occasion of United Nations Forces Day and the 70th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Agreement, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs is hosting the ‘Invitation Event for Government Delegations and Veterans from UN Participating Countries.’ Accordingly, government delegations and veterans from UN participating countries are scheduled to enter the country through Incheon Airport during July.

As the first gateway to the Republic of Korea, Incheon Airport plans to welcome the government delegations and veterans with the highest honors to express gratitude and respect for their dedication to protecting freedom and democracy. First, it will actively facilitate the convenience of veterans and their families by simplifying the entry procedures for visiting delegations, operating dedicated immigration lanes (fast track), and supporting the use of exclusive facilities.

Additionally, to enhance national prestige as a ‘country that remembers its heroes,’ spaces will be created within the passenger terminal for promotional booths, veterans culture experience zones, and exhibitions. By utilizing airport electronic billboards, media walls, and digital signage to broadcast images, messages, and videos related to national defense and veterans affairs, passengers using the airport will be able to experience veterans culture in their daily lives.

Along with this, Incheon International Airport Corporation plans to review and implement various measures to deliver messages of remembrance and gratitude for the dedication of participating countries and veterans to the public and international passengers at Incheon Airport, the nation’s gateway, and to serve as a platform for spreading the values of world peace and freedom.

Lee Hak-jae, President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, “We will provide the highest honors that Incheon Airport can offer to the national heroes who sacrificed for the freedom of the Republic of Korea,” adding, “Furthermore, we will take the lead in spreading veterans culture to remember and express gratitude for the dedication of the United Nations and participating countries in the international community.”
