It was a pleasure to meet President Moon Jae-in again in Korea 🇰🇷 to discuss the shared aspirations of our two countries, including on trade, climate change and regional stability.

While in Korea I spoke at World Knowledge Forum and visited Seoul’s impressive Covid-19 command centre. We can learn from their pioneering approach to track and trace, which has kept the virus in check throughout the pandemic.

It was also an honour to pay tribute to the 80,000 British soldiers who fought for the freedom of the Korean people, including the 1,108 who lost their lives. In this 70th anniversary year, we must ensure that this bloody conflict does not truly become a forgotten war.
