PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: BLUE HOUSE LUNCH TOAST
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
FEBRUARY 27, 1989
Thank you
Thank you all very much.
I am truly moved by your gracious hospitality and kindness
on my return to Seoul. On behalf of my wife, Barbara, and me,
let me thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Since I was last here in 1982, it seems as though an entire
new city has arisen. Once again I am astounded by the vitality
and creative genius of the Korean people.
A generation ago, Korea was a battle weary, devastated land.
Your hopes for peace, prosperity and independence were threatened
by the legacy of war and poverty. But today, less than four
decades after our two nations fought side-by-side against
oppression, the Republic of Korea has emerged as an economic and
democratic power of world significance. Today, Korea enters an
era of unprecedented prosperity and opportunity, and we salute
the pride all Koreans feel in these accomplishments.
Your progress economically has been matched by your progress
toward a stronger democracy. Mr. President, you have both led
and responded to your people's strivings for democracy. When the
history of the emergence of Korean democracy is written, your
name, President Roh, almost certainly will be recorded as the
single most important one. On behalf of the United States, I
salute your achievement.
I am here today as the leader of a nation which will
continue to be a faithful friend and a dependable ally to Korea.
We applaud the responsible way you have sought to open a dialogue
with North Korea and we remain committed to the security and
freedom of your nation. We will not -- ever -- waver in that
commitment.
Now, may I propose a toast to President Roh, to the Korean
people, and to a continued Korean-American relationship of mutual
respect, understanding, and trust.
