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.

BLUE HOUSE LUNCH TOAST
Seoul, Korea
Barbara and I are warmed by your gracious hospitality and
kindness. Since I last visited Seoul in 1982, a whole new city
has arisen. The vitality and achievements of the Korean people
are simply astounding.
I can't help remarking to Barbara at every turn: "Will you
look at this place! Just look what they have built out of the
devastation of war!" In less than four decades, the Korean
people have created an economic miracle that is recognized and
respected the world around. It's due to dedication and to hard
work.
I am also happy to say that the same dedication and hard
work is now being applied to democracy and human rights in
Korea.
Mr. President, the American people and I salute you and the
citizens of the Republic of Korea for your commitment to
greater democracy, human rights, and a higher level of
well-being for all.
In good times and bad, the Republic of Korea has been able
to count on the support and understanding of the United
States.

Together, we have sacrificed and together we have built. With
you, we pray that the new dialogue with the North will open a
more hopeful path for the Korean people. As always, we remain
committed to the security and freedom of your nation. You can
count on the United States of America.
Now, please join me in a toast to President Roh, to the
Korean people and to a continued Korean-American relationship
of mutual respect, understanding and trust.

BLUE HOUSE LUNCH TOAST
I am warmed by your gracious hospitality and kindness on my
return to Seoul. Since I visited last in 1982, it seems that a
whole new city has arisen. I am once again astounded by the
vitality and achievements of the Korean people.
Not many years ago, Korea was a war-torn, devastated land. In
less than four decades, with hard work and dedication, the Korean
people have created an economic miracle that is recognized and
respected the world around.
The Korean people are a spirited people. They strive not only
for economic well-being but also for democracy and human rights.
Mr. President, you have both led and responded to your nation's
strivings for democracy. My countrymen and I salute you for your
dedication to greater democracy, human rights, and a higher level of
well-being for all.
Throughout the good and the bad times, the Republic of Korea has
been able to count on the support and understanding of the United
States and its people. We applaud the responsible way you have
opened a dialogue with North Korea and we remain committed to the
security and freedom of your nation. We will not waver in that
commitment, and will remain a supportive, flexible partner as you
explore the exciting possibilities of Nordpolitik.
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.
