President Lee Congratulates U.S. on 250th Independence Anniversary: "South Korea Is a Valued Partner to the U.S."

President Lee Jae-myung extended his congratulations to U.S. President Donald Trump and the American people on July 4, marking the 250th anniversary of the United States' Independence Day.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) earlier today, President Lee stated, "The United States, which began its great journey toward the ideals of freedom and democracy 250 years ago, has overcome numerous challenges and led peace and prosperity in the international community. The Republic of Korea is a valued partner to the U.S., having upheld these shared values together."
President Lee particularly emphasized, "Over 70 years ago, during the Korean War, countless young Americans did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to defend the freedom of the Republic of Korea. We will forever remember that noble dedication and continue to strengthen the ROK-U.S. alliance."
Furthermore, President Lee assessed that "today, our two countries are developing into future-oriented partners that prosper together, expanding the horizons of cooperation beyond security to include the economy, advanced technology, energy, shipbuilding, nuclear power, and artificial intelligence."
He added, "Moving forward, I will work with President Trump to achieve a new leap forward for the ROK-U.S. alliance based on our shared values and firm trust, and contribute together to peace and common prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and across the world."
President Lee concluded by saying, "I once again congratulate you on the 250th anniversary of independence, and I sincerely wish for God's blessings and peace to be with all the American people."
