On the 11th, President Yoon held a meeting with the U.S. Senate delegation, including Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, at the Yongsan Presidential Office in the afternoon.

The Presidential Office stated that through the meeting, President Yoon and the delegation agreed that both South Korea and the United States should play a constructive role to ensure the swift resolution of the current situation, leading to reduced tensions and stability in the region. This is the first time President Yoon has issued a condemnation message since Hamas's surprise attack on Israel on the 7th.

Additionally, President Yoon and the delegation exchanged views on key regional and international issues such as trilateral cooperation among South Korea, Japan, and China, and the North Korean nuclear issue. President Yoon requested attention to ensure that major legislation in South Korea, such as the professional visa quota, and U.S. economic legislation including the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act, can lead to expanded mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries. In response, the delegation affirmed that bipartisan support from the U.S. Congress for South Korea will be full, comprehensive, and unwavering.
