British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on November 22 and signed an accord on closer diplomatic ties. Madam Kim Keon Hee, it gives my wife and myself great pleasure to welcome you to Buckingham Palace this evening. Yoon Goo Ge, Oshin Goosul, Kwan Young Hamnida, all those who fought for the survival of your fledgling republic are in aberration of what your country has become through their own sweat and toil and under the shadow of tyranny and the ever-present threat of aggression. Over seven decades Koreans have built a bastion of democracy, human rights and freedom. In a world where these values are challenged sadly as rarely before in our lifetimes, the Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of all that we hold dear. And so Mr President, Madam Kim, it is with great pride and pleasure that I propose a toast to the next 140 years of Korean-British relations. We Hiaoyi!
