Pengantar Presiden RI pada Jamuan Makan Siang Kenegaraan oleh Pemerintah Republik Korea
di Istana Kepresidenan Korea Cheong Wa Dae (Blue House), Seoul, Republik Korea
Presiden Republik Indonesia Prabowo Subianto:
Your Excellency, President Lee Jae Myung;
Distinguished guests;
Ladies and gentlemen.
Annyeonghaseyo.
It’s a great honor to be here following the highly productive and the fruitful discussions we have held today. The elevation of our bilateral ties to a special comprehensive strategic partnership, together with the conclusion of several key agreements, reflects the deep trust and shared vision that binds our two nations. I am confident that these milestones will deliver meaningful and lasting benefits to our peoples while further strengthening the bonds that unite us.
We have many similarities in our history and we have common interests. Both our countries had to fight very hard for our independence. The Republic of Korea has succeeded very well in becoming a very advanced industrial country. We admire your achievements. We admire your discipline, your hard work, and your desire to always overcome your challenges.
I understand there is a cherished Korean saying that goes like this, “hamkke gamyeon, meolli ganda”, “if we go together, we will go far”. In this spirit, what we do today, what we achieve today, what we work for today, will benefit the future generations of our two countries.
