First, let me offer my congratulations to The Korea Times on its 70th anniversary.
As the longest continuously published English newspaper in the country, The Korea Times has been steadily serving its role as a beacon on Korean affairs and news to the world.
Having started out as the first English newspaper The Korea Times' content has been cited by other leading global media outlets, and so I would like to once again extend congratulations to your publication.
Korea has become a country watched and consumed with utmost attention by people across the world.
The attention focuses not only on the global K-pop group BTS and hallyu; it extends to all things Korean including the state of the economy and the country's medical system.
As the world increasingly integrates online in the era of digitization, I think The Korea Times has a chance to play a bigger more vital role in letting the world know about Korea.
I hope the Korea Times will continue to offer new visions and challenges for the next seven decades.
Once again, I extend my celebratory greetings on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of your esteemed newspaper.
