Amman, Sept. 30 (Petra) — South Korean Ambassador to Jordan Kim
Pil-woo praised the Kingdom’s humanitarian role and its record of
assisting and hosting people in times of crisis, describing the
country as an example of solidarity and generosity.

Kim made the remarks at a reception hosted by the South Korean
Embassy on Tuesday evening to mark Korea’s National Day, attended by
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Nancy Namrouqa, representing
the Jordanian government, along with officials, diplomats, business
and civil society representatives, journalists and other guests.

The ambassador said relations between Jordan and South Korea,
spanning more than six decades, have developed on the foundations of
friendship, cooperation and mutual respect, supported by longstanding
diplomatic, commercial and cultural exchanges.

He said the two countries also share a commitment to advancing
security, peace and development and to contributing to a more stable
and prosperous world.

Marking the occasion, Kim highlighted the significance of Korea’s
National Foundation Day, or Gaecheonjeol, which commemorates the
founding of the first Korean kingdom nearly 5,000 years ago.

He said the occasion embodies values centered on benefiting the wider
world, respecting others and promoting human rights and peace.

Kim, who is approaching the end of his diplomatic assignment in
Jordan, also highlighted the Kingdom’s security and stability despite
the turbulence surrounding the region and praised the hospitality of
the Jordanian people.

He said his years in the Kingdom had left a lasting impression and
that Jordan would remain in his memory after the conclusion of his
tenure.

A video screened during the reception featured Jordanian officials,
specialists and students discussing the strength of the
Jordanian-South Korean partnership and cooperation across a range of
fields at both official and people-to-people levels.
