Video Message for Arirang TV

My gréetings to all of you. viewers in Amé rica.

I'm very delíghted to be able to meet you through Korea's flágship English chánnel... - Arirang TV.

Throughóut its rich hístory, Korea has cúltivated... time-hó́nored and beautiful cultural héritage. The Repúblic of Korea also achíeved... remárkable econó́mic devélopment in a short span of time... - what is known... as the Míracle on the Han River.

Last year, Korea and the Uníted States marked the 60th annivérsary of our allíance.

Today, we are exténding our reach... beyond just our biláteral friendship. We are moving tówards a global pártnership of a new era... - one that also suppó rts the prospé rity of all of humá nity.

I hope that Arirang TV, now aváilable on DirecTV... will serve as a précious bridge... that fúrther deepens our friendship.. and our trust.

As you tune into Arirang TV... may you enjó y Korea's nátural beauty... its creá tive and excí ting culture.. its art. And may we togé ther... ó pen a new era for both Korea... and the Uníted States.

Thank you.
