President Yoon Suk-yeol on the 30th met with a delegation of six U.S. House representatives, including John Moolenaar, Chair of the U.S. House China Task Force, who are visiting South Korea, and asked for continued support to strengthen Korea-U.S. and Korea-U.S.-Japan cooperation.

During the meeting, President Yoon expressed gratitude for the bipartisan support of the Korea-U.S. alliance in the U.S. Congress. He explained that thanks to the interest and support of the U.S. Congress, the Korea-U.S. alliance has grown over the past 70 years into a "global comprehensive strategic alliance" underpinning the freedom and prosperity of both countries.

He also emphasized that close cooperation between Korea and the U.S., as well as Korea, the U.S., and Japan, based on shared values, is essential to overcoming the global complex crises, and requested that the U.S. Congress continue to provide support to further strengthen such cooperation.

According to the Presidential Office, the visiting delegation felt that the bilateral relationship has been strengthened unprecedentedly and evaluated that "thanks to President Yoon's courage and leadership, Korea-U.S.-Japan trilateral cooperation has entered a new era."

The delegation stated that to confront regional and global challenges, including the North Korean issue, the U.S. must cooperate more closely than ever with key allies in the Indo-Pacific region, including South Korea, and pledged to continue efforts within the U.S. Congress to deepen cooperation between Korea and the U.S.
