The U.S. Congress officially invited President Seok-yeol Yoon to speak at a joint meeting of the Senate and House of Representatives to be held on the 27th, and the invitation was released. The letter was signed by both U.S. Senate and House leaders.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “On the occasion of the visit of President Yoon Seok-yeol by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCall and other members of the House of Representatives on the 5th, we directly delivered a message inviting him to speak at the Joint Meeting of Congress. It was received through the embassy in the United States,” he said on the 7th.
He continued, “This letter inviting the speeches of the joint meeting on the 27th was signed by four leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives, Republicans and Democrats, so-called ‘Big Four’, including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.” In addition to Speaker McCarthy, the four signatures are Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries.
He said, “It is very unusual that the leaders of both the Senate and the House of Representatives signed a letter inviting a foreign leader to speak.” In 1995, President Kim Young-sam, 1998, President Kim Dae-jung, 2011, 2011, 2011, 2011, 2013, 2013, President Park Geun-hye, President Park Geun-hye gave speeches with invitations from the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “This is evaluated to reflect the bipartisan and full support of the US Congress for our leader’s first state visit to the US in 12 years to mark the 70th anniversary of the ROK-US alliance this year.” It is expected that it will be a meaningful occasion to look at the historical achievements of the 70 years of the highly regarded ROK-US alliance and to present a vision for the future of the alliance.”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican member of the United States, posted an invitation to President Seok-Yeol Yoon on his website on the same day in the names of himself and four other congressional leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Democratic Leader Hakim Jeffries. raisedLee Ye-ji,
