I offer heartfelt congratulations to The Korea Herald on the 70th anniversary of its founding. My profound appreciation goes to Mr. Jung Won-ju, chairman of Herald Corp., as well as its management and staff. I also extend congratulations to its readers.

Founded in 1953 on Liberation Day, Aug. 15, The Korea Herald has served as a bridge between Korea and the international community while vividly reporting the Republic of Korea’s progress as the country overcame the ruins of war and impoverishment to be reborn as a global economic and cultural powerhouse. Through its worldwide network and in-depth coverage, the newspaper is faithfully fulfilling its role as a global media outlet.

I look forward to The Korea Herald establishing itself as a more trusted outlet within the international community while continuing to provide vision and insight to readers worldwide.

Congratulations again to The Korea Herald on its 70th anniversary. Thank you.
